title: Do we need a "virtual" program infrastructure for worksite and population health promotion efforts?
abstract: As the demand for Worksite Health Promotion heats up, it is becoming clear that the traditional models of programming that work well in worksites with large number of employees will not meet the needs of small and medium size employer organizations. Additionally, the large number of individuals who are served by health plans are also likely to require different types of Health Promotion interventions. In presenting the concept of a "virtual" set of interventions that form a "program infrastructure" this article seeks to bridge the gap between large employer programming strategies and small employer and health plan settings. A set of eleven interventions are described and recommended technical specifications are presented.
