[White Paper] "ADM’s Culture of Health Stays at the Forefront with COVID-19 Safety Program"

As news of the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) leadership quickly came together to develop a plan to keep their most valued resource – their employees – safe. As an essential business critical to the global food chain from farm to fork, ADM’s global employee family of almost 40,000 has maintained operations throughout the pandemic. The health and safety of their workforce was an established priority, so ADM was ahead of the curve in responding to the workplace hazards that emerged as a result of COVID-19.

ADM turned to Matrix to help realize an organized, systematic, and sustained culture of health, with pandemic preparedness as a priority.

In this white paper, we explore key aspects of ADM’s robust COVID-19 safety program, how Matrix quickly activated clinical resources to promote workplace safety and how Matrix leveraged its clinical expertise to adapt a robust strategy in a rapidly evolving environment.

"The Impact of Comprehensive Health Assessments During a Pandemic"

[White Paper] "The Impact of Comprehensive Health Assessments During a Pandemic"

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a radical refocus of personal health priorities. Prevention and chronic care have taken a backseat to the urgency of a looming health crisis, with many Americans choosing to postpone or forgo reoccurring appointments and annual checkups. Daily routines have been upended as a result of social distancing and stay-at-home orders leading to higher cases of loneliness, depression and anxiety. Moreover, ready access to quality care has dwindled with 8 percent of physicians having closed their practices throughout the duration of the pandemic, and 43 percent noting a reduction in medical staff. Even the number of emergency room patients has dropped between 40 and 50 percent nationwide since March 2020, signaling the heightened hesitation many feel in seeking non-COVID-related care.

For nearly 20 years, Matrix Medical Network has provided quality care through compassionate, clinical excellence, and its Comprehensive Health Assessment (“CHA”) program is a living embodiment of that mission. CHAs provide an opportunity for higher-risk members to be identified for care management or disease intervention through personalized, in-home consultations with a licensed practitioner.
