One specific health service benefit for Greeley-Evans Weld County School District 6 (D6) employees is biometric screenings which include a fingerstick blood screening and various body measurements (D6, n.d.). The blood screening includes total cholesterol, HDLs, LDLs, triglycerides, glucose, and HGBA1C, and the body measurements include blood pressure, height, weight, waist, and hip. Currently, biometric screenings for D6 employees are held between October and November at 13 different clinics throughout the district. If I were tasked with expanding the biometrics program, I would make biometrics clinics available year-round at various locations around the district. To measure the effectiveness of the current biometrics program, I would collect data on participation numbers in the years past. To evaluate the year-round biometrics program, I would ask questions like: what are the participation numbers for each clinic, each month, and the entire year after one year of the new biometrics program? For a biometrics program, I think focusing on the participation numbers is crucial because it means that more district employees are taking advantage of a free health service so they can learn more about their health values. To determine how feasible it is to expand the current biometrics program, I would try to survey district employees to see if they prefer having biometrics available year-round. Fortunately, the company that does the biometrics screenings is always eager to gain more business and insurance covers the cost of the screening for employees.
