The Workforce Health Fragmentation Index

Workforce health is quietly fragmented

In most large organizations, occupational health does not run on one system — it runs on about seven. A typical enterprise program touches roughly seven disconnected tools — clinics, labs, drug-screen vendors, immunization registries, and spreadsheets — and every handoff between them is a place where data gets re-keyed, a due date slips, or an audit trail goes cold.

That cost rarely lands on a budget line, because no single system owns it. But it surfaces everywhere — in the hours teams spend coordinating instead of caring, in surveillance that drifts off protocol, and in compliance reporting that turns into an annual fire drill.
