Louisville, Ky. (May 24, 2006) – SHPS, one of the nation’s largest consumer-driven healthcare solutions providers, is hosting a free webinar for employers regarding the use of decision-support tools during benefit enrollment to support a company’s overall health strategy. The session will analyze the impact decision-support tools can have on how employees select their benefits and provide employers with the tools necessary to become better healthcare suppliers.

“One of the hottest healthcare topics today is consumerism. An integral part of a consumerism strategy is arming employees with self-service tools and incentives to encourage behavioral change,” said Karin Gibson, SHPS’ manager, eligibility and enrollment product management. “SHPS is focused on helping our clients develop and implement comprehensive strategies that empower their employees to make healthier decisions. We encourage all benefit managers to join us for an informative discussion on how decision tools can positively impact your corporate healthcare strategy.”

Members of the media are encouraged to attend the webinar for background information on decision-support tools and the challenges facing employers providing healthcare benefits. For those unable to attend, SHPS is happy to provide follow-up information or interviews.
