Sample dashboard for mock employer
Aon, a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, designed the tool to help employers anticipate medical costs, absenteeism and potential needs to shift work operations due to the spread of COVID-19.
'COVID-19 has brought on uncertainties in many aspects of our lives and this application will help employers understand their risks,' said
Aon's COVID-19 Employee Impact Model works by using de-identified demographic data on employee populations and dependents covered by the employer's health plan. Aon's application combines employer-specific data with geographic infection rates from the most reputable epidemiologic models. * It is updated daily based on the spread of the virus, social distancing measures taken by local governments, and the current figures of confirmed patients, hospitalizations, deaths, and testing and treatment patterns.
The tool allows employers to estimate the impact of the virus through the fall on their employee population. By selecting a date, employers can see projected cases and medical claims cost, which can change daily based on the most current COVID-19 information.
'Aon consultants will work with employers to build plans on how to keep employees safe while minimizing disruptions to their operations,' Nimmer added. 'In these uncertain times, it is important that organizations have the most current information from which to base their decisions to safely maintain vital operations.'
Key features allow employers to:
view employee population impact by geographic area over time;
estimate the number of mild cases, hospitalizations, ICU visits and fatalities based on specific population demographics; and
estimate health care costs associated with testing and treatment.
Members of Aon's Actuarial & Analytics Practice, who developed the cloud-based platform, are working to also quantify productivity and the broader business impact by adding metrics that model workers' compensation claims, time lost, salary replacement costs, disability and life insurance, and cost savings of deferred elective medical procedures.
The application initially will be available in the
