Norfolk, Virginia – November 19, 2007
ValueOptions, Inc., the nation's largest independent behavioral health care company, announced today that its Achieve Solutions® Web site was honored with an eHealthcare Leadership Award at the Eleventh Annual Healthcare Internet Conference in Las Vegas on November 4, 2007. The site, which has been redesigned with an enhanced navigation and updated look and feel, was awarded the Platinum eHealthCare Leadership Award for Best Site Design.
From more than 1,100 entries, this leading awards program exclusively recognizes the very best Web sites from hospitals and health systems to pharmaceutical firms and online health companies. The awards highlight the Internet's role in achieving an organization's business objectives and recognize the work that goes into creating outstanding health-related Web sites. In consideration for the award, judges assessed how engaging, creative and well-organized the site is, and how the site facilitates easy access to key information.
The award for Best Site Design comes after the recent re-launch of Achieve Solutions®, a dedicated behavioral health care Web site for client organizations and members. Featuring an enhanced navigation and an updated design, the new Achieve Solutions® provides intuitive and easy-to-use Web-based tools and resources to help employers and employees address behavioral health issues in the workplace.
"We upgraded our award-winning site to improve our members' access to trusted information and support in actively managing their health and well-being," said Rich Paul, Vice President, Health & Performance Solutions. "We are extremely pleased that our changes to the design and navigation have been recognized with top honors."
The redesigned site features four main sections – Explore Info, Find Services, Manage Life Events and Assess Concerns – to guide members to materials and information to help them reduce life stressors and make positive life decisions for themselves and their families. More than 6,000 articles on more than 200 health topics cover health and wellness, family care, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, financial and legal concerns and work/life balance.
Through the Explore Info column, members visiting the site can access content in a conventional manner – through center and topic navigation. Centers highlight the most common topic clusters that people visit on the site. The Find Services tool helps people locate a mental health provider, child care services and other community resources. The Manage Life Events section provides practical guidance on managing life-changing events such as divorce, adoption, coping with a new medical diagnosis, death of a loved one, retirement, or relocation.
