[Vendor] DPS Health (www.dpshealth.com) The first wellness vendor to show meaningful intermediate-term impact in an obesity program while both using plausibility indicators and (almost) controlling for the non-observable but critical variable of motivation [Comments/Qualifications] 
Rather than aim for (or achieve) reductions in inpatient utilization (where wellness-sensitive medical events are surprisingly rare and difficult to impact in the short or intermediate term), they aimed for and achieved reductions in outpatient utilization -- especially sleep apnea complications, which in obese patients are common, discrete, and responsive to weight loss. Request a copy of their auditors letter for more information.
