Last week, Shortlister had the pleasure of hosting Chris Nordman, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Cylinder Health, as the featured guest for our Meet a Vendor webinar series. During this engaging session, Chris spearheaded an insightful discussion on the subject of digestive health, revealing how Cylinder Health offers much-needed relief to millions of Americans suffering in silence.
DIGESTIVE HEALTH IS MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK
More than 40% of Americans’ lives are disrupted daily by digestive issues. Not only does this contribute to a whopping $136 billion in annual spending (more than heart disease, trauma, and mental health altogether). It’s also causing people to suffer in silence, painfully navigating a fragmented care system that’s resulting in increased anxiety, frustration, and lack of relief.
THE ROLE DIGESTIVE DISEASE PLAYS IN EMPLOYEE HEALTH
GI conditions are a top cost driver for employers:
- Abdominal pain is the 1# ER admit reason and a leading cause of postoperative care
- #2 highest spend for short-term disability claims is digestive disease
- The average healthcare cost of individuals with digestive disease is $17,200 annually – higher than Diabetes or Treatment-Resistant Depression
- GI conditions are the #2 reason for missed work
- It takes an average of 6 years for an IBS diagnosis from symptom onset
