Within this strategy, liveWELL activities are driven by data about UI faculty and staff collected through their personal health assessment and focus groups.

The four levels of UI’s strategy include: 1) managing chronic conditions, 2) lowering risk in the “at risk” population, 3) keeping healthy people healthy, and 4) environmental supports, such as benefit design, policy, physical environment, culture, and engagement. Troester says that UI’s integrated health management strategy is informed by a large body of work pioneered by Dee Edington, founder of the University of Michigan’s Health Management Research Center and chairman of Edington Associates, who has focused on multiple ways of engaging employees in health. The behavioral/mental health components of liveWELL intersect with physical health and with UI’s centers for excellence, which are utilized to apply learning directly to the well-being support programs provided to UI employees. Troester, interim assistant vice president of Benefits, Health and Productivity, says UI was motivated to include mental health as an integral component of liveWELL because “well-being truly includes the whole person-mental and emotional.” UI has been reporting on liveWELL-related outcomes since the program’s inception. liveWELL focuses on a healthy campus culture and improved organizational performance by making well-being part of the daily routine of UI faculty and staff. With its own healthcare system, including a teaching hospital and clinics, UI formally launched a program called liveWELL as part of their integrated health management strategy for UI faculty and staff in 2006. The University of Iowa (UI), along with focusing on the growth and advancement of more than 31,000 students, employs and supports the health and development of its 14,500 staff and 2,600 faculty.
