Health Risk Assessments (HRAs)
A Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is a simple way to help us understand your health better. By answering a few simple questions about your daily habits and health history, we can spot potential health concerns early and make sure you're getting the right care.
The assessment is fast and easy—it usually takes less than five minutes. You can complete it whenever you’re ready using your phone, tablet, or computer.
What to Expect
During the assessment, you may answer questions about:
- Individualized personal assessment
- Weight or other basic health information
Some HRAs may also ask about symptoms or concerns related to a specific health condition or treatment.
Understanding Your Results
After you complete the assessment, you may receive general information about your health risks or possible treatment options. These results are not a medical diagnosis. Instead, they are meant to help you better understand your health and decide to speak with a healthcare provider.
You can also save or print your results and bring them to your appointment. This can help start a conversation with your provider about your health goals and concerns.
Why HRAs Matter
Health Risk Assessments can help:
- Find health risks early
- Support healthy lifestyle changes
- Encourage preventive care and screenings
- Help providers create a care plan that fits your needs
Learning about your health today can help prevent more serious problems in the future.
Next Steps
If your results show possible health risks, your provider may recommend additional testing or follow-up care. Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics also offers wellness and laboratory testing services that can provide more detailed information about your health.
An HRA is a helpful first step toward better health and wellness. If you have questions about your results, contact our healthcare team.
