On Monday, July 11, HCW and CAI launched the inaugural and only North Carolina survey covering trends in healthcare strategies. The survey, which is separate from the two companies’ exclusive NC Healthcare Cost & Benefits Survey, is designed to discover:

• What other North Carolina business leaders' concerns are around their benefit plan,
• What they believe to be the most effective strategies to reduce healthcare costs, and 
• What actions they are considering implementing to reduce healthcare costs

While national benchmarking data is readily available by companies like Kaiser, Towers Watson and PricewaterhouseCoopers, etc., North Carolina-specific data on health and welfare benefit plans would not be around if HCW and CAI did not undertake the projects.

We encourage all North Carolina-based employers to participate 2011 NC Trends in Healthcare Strategies Survey! Those who take the roughly 15-minute survey will receive a full report of the findings, which will otherwise only be available for purchase from CAI.

The survey will provide a unique strategic perspective on the healthcare concerns of North Carolina business leaders, as well as their intentions on how to positively impact healthcare costs. The results will be broken down by company performance, industry and size.

The deadline to take the survey is next Friday, July 29, so don’t delay! Take 15 minutes and gain priceless perspective and insight into the minds of North Carolina’s business leaders.
