“Wellness” for 21st Century Miners:Integrating “Safety” & “Health”To Drive Employee, Family and Business Performance Michael D Parkinson, MD, MPH, FACPM NSSGA Convention March 2014
Objectives • Definition of 21st century “wellness” for industry, employers and employees in globally competitive economy • Military, NASA and private sector applications • Integration of “Safety”, “Health Protection” and “Health Promotion” • NIOSH Total Worker Health™ initiative • Employer Health & Productivity Roadmap • Implications for 21st century mining industry, employers, miners and their families
My Perspective: Always Achieving the Mission • Air Force flight surgeon • Mission achievement worldwide thru “whole person” orientation to worklife, professional and personal integration for hi-risk aircrew and families • Chief, US Air Force Preventive Medicine • Optimizing preventive medical care programs for Air Force and DOD pre-, during and post- Persian Gulf operations • Study and medical surveillance of occupational and environmental health risks • Deputy Director, Air Force Medical Operations and MHS leadership • Deliver or “buy” care from private sector for 2M beneficiaries • What functions are “mission-essential” for health, safety, performance? • President, American College of Preventive Medicine • Physicians in public health, preventive care and occupational medicine • Institute of Medicine NASA “Integrating Employee Health” 2 yr study • Consumer-directed health care – prevention paid 100% • NIOSH Total Worker Health Advisor U of Iowa
$2.6 T: 75% Behaviors, 30% WasteWhat are We Trying To Do Anyway?
21st Century Mining and Related Industry • Global scope and competition • 24-7 high risk, high impact industry • Critical growth path and opportunities • Increasingly short “cycle time” to react and change • Safety and quality paramount • Mission critical personnel with time, attention, physical and mental health demands • Health and performance – similarly critical to global success and company growth
How Many Americans Can Just Say “Yes” to All 5? I am within 5 pounds of my ideal body weight I exercise 30 minutes or more most days of week I eat a healthy diet with 5 fruits/vegetables most days I don’t use tobacco products I have 2 or fewer alcoholic drinks per day

HEALTHY Demonstrating optimal health status as defined by positive health behaviors; minimal modifiable risk factors; and minimal illnesses, diseases, and injuries PRODUCTIVE Functioning to produce the maximum contribution to achievement of personal goals and the organizational mission READY Possessing an ability to respond to changing demands given the increasing pace and unpredictable nature of work RESILIENT Adjusting to setbacks, increased demands, or unusual challenges by bouncing back to optimal “well-being” and performance without incurring severe functional decrement.

(JOEM, 2005) • 36% of absence– including STD and Workers’ Comp – is due to excess riskfactors (JOEM, 2002)
When Done Right: Positive ROI for Both Direct Medical and “Indirect” Total Costs • Medical costs fall by about $3.27 for every dollar spent on effective wellness programs • Absenteeism costs fall by about $2.73 for every dollar spent Source: Katherine Baicker, David Cutler, and Zirui Song, Health Affairs, February, 2010
The success and sustainability of an integrated health process must first and foremost begin with a clear understanding of the organization’s mission. The Committee recommends that the administrator of NASA adopt a new vision for worker health, readiness, and resilience that directly links to NASA’s mission and includes health as a core NASA valuethat is implemented through an integrated health and systems approach. NASA Recommendation “Job 1”: A New Vision
A mission-driven vision for health should articulate why investment in health and employee-integrated health helps NASA achieve its core mission on time, under budget, and better than expected. NASA #2: Link Health and Performance to Bottom Line and Mission
Develop a data-based approach to policy, planning, programming, budgeting, implementation, operations, evaluation, and management. Create a standardized “health and performance” full-cost accounting framework to define, standardize, prioritize, fund, and evaluate resource allocation for human-related mission performance and workplace safety, health, and productivity. Incorporate mission-essential elements of integrated health programs in contracting requirements. NASA #3: Visible Organizational Commitment
NASA should provide education and training to first-line managers and supervisors that focuses on the relationship between health and productivity NASA #4: Manager Educationand Ownership
NIOSH Total Worker Health™: Integrating Health, Prevention, Safety and Occupational Medicine • Total Worker Health™ is a strategy integrating occupational safety and health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury and illness and to advance health and well-being. • “Most diseases, injuries, and other health conditions experienced by working people are multifactorial, especially as the workforce ages. Evidence supporting the role of work and personal risk factors in the health of working people is frequently underused in developing interventions. Achieving a longer, healthy working life requires a comprehensive preventive approach. To help develop such an approach, we evaluated the influence of both occupational and personal risk factors on workforce health.” • Interaction of Occupational and Personal Risk Factors in Workforce Health and Safety, AJPM Mar 2012 Schulte et al
