Victoria, BC, March 24, 2023--(T-Net)--CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC), a health services company, has shared the results of its new study conducted by ANDx Research Group: Unlocking the Potential of Employer-Provided Health Benefits.

Key findings include:
There is a clear opportunity for companies to increase employee wellness and job satisfaction and thereby reduce burnout and absenteeism by removing the barriers that prevent employees from fully benefiting from the supports offered to them, according to the company.

"This survey tells us that employees want help in understanding and navigating their mental and physical health benefits. Employers' investment in health & wellness programs needs to include navigation services to enable people to gain access to care that meets not only their needs, but also their preferences," said Karen Adams, CEO of CloudMD.
"If employees aren't fully utilizing the care available to them, this diminishes the value that both employees and employers receive, resulting in lower employee satisfaction, deteriorating mental and physical health, and higher rates of absenteeism.
Karen Adams continued, "We've repeatedly demonstrated that health navigation closes the utilization gap and increases return on healthcare investments. Historically this approach was used to navigate complex disability cases. Now we use that same process to help connect employees to the right services and support them throughout their entire journey. Our unique set of services are proven to break down traditional barriers around availability, time, confusion, and stigma and provide the widest choice in access and delivery to meet patients where they are."
