"How Employers Are Using the Internet to Increase Employee Health I-Cue™" is an essential report for understanding how employers use healthcare IT to educate their employees about health and healthcare.

The report, published by Health2 Resources, contains a literature review, personal interviews with large "early adopters" of eHealth tools, and a survey of business coalitions and large employers to evaluate current and future use of health care IT to administer employee benefits.

The survey results represent responses from local and regional employer coalitions representing more than 8 million employees (more than 21 million covered lives) and large employers representing an additional 1.2 million employees in the U.S. (close to 3.4 million covered lives).

The report also features an updated "Employer's Guide to Selection of eHealth Vendors," an indispensable roadmap for employers to determine their health care IT needs and signposts pointing to the right vendors.

The Employer's Guide is highlighted by quotes and insights gleaned from interviews with benefit management executives from General Electric, Ford Motor Company, Procter & Gamble, UPS, Southwest Airlines and RR Donnelly & Sons. Employers are moving aggressively to health care information technology vendors that can provide decision support to increase the consumer's ability to choose, use, and evaluate health care, or consumer Health I-CUE.
