DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Protocol Driven Healthcare, Inc. (PDHI) enhances its library of ConXus Steps online action plans with two additions: diabetes prevention and heart disease prevention. Integral components of the ConXus health-improvement platform, these action plans help promote wellness through disease prevention and behavior change.

Like their predecessors in the ConXus Steps library, each new action plan comprises:

• A pre- and post-assessment of disease risk using biometrics data and self-reporting of lifestyle behaviors
• An interactive tutorial on disease prevention
• Eight learning steps on improving physical activity, eating habits, early detection of disease through testing, and compliance with the program. In addition, the heart disease prevention plan offers a lesson on medication use.
• Weekly progress trackers
• Integrated coaching sessions for clients using the ConXus Direct health coaching module
• An optional satisfaction survey

To increase engagement, each action plan supports reminders for participants to complete a step. Participants may earn incentive points and a bonus for completing all steps within a plan.

"Since the introduction of online action plans, many of our clients have been requesting that we add diabetes prevention and heart disease prevention," said Jennifer Jolley, president of PDHI. "The action plans are fully integrated with the coaching and incentive-management modules to give our clients a powerful set of tools to promote behavior change."

The ConXus Steps library also includes action plans for healthy eating, weight management, exercise and activity, stress management, and smoking cessation.
