Scorecard News:
The HERO EHM Best Practices Scorecard in Collaboration with Mercer Preferred Provider program, piloted in 2010 and launched in 2011, helps extend the Scorecard's reach.  The Scorecard Preferred Provider companies have custom links on their websites through which their clients can enter their Scorecard responses. Those responses are then housed in the Preferred Provider’s module of the Scorecard database, allowing the Preferred Provider to do analysis on the responses of their group along with comparisons with the entire Scorecard database. Preferred Providers through their encouragement to their clients, has helped the HERO Scorecard grow in visibility and in size of its database.  The database now exceeds 800 employers with representation from large, midsize and small organizations.  The current members of the Scorecard Preferred Providers network are: Alere, Capital BlueCross, HealthyFit, Healthyroads, Kaiser Permanente, Mayo Clinic, Mercer, Noridian Mutual Insurance Company and StayWell Health Management.
