Aon’s COVID-19 Employee Impact Model works by using de-identified demographic data on employee populations and dependents covered by the employer’s health plan. Aon’s application combines employer-specific data with geographic infection rates from the most reputable epidemiologic models. * It is updated daily based on the spread of the virus, social distancing measures taken by local governments, and the current figures of confirmed patients, hospitalizations, deaths, and testing and treatment patterns.
The tool allows employers to estimate the impact of the virus through the fall on their employee population. By selecting a date, employers can see projected cases and medical claims cost, which can change daily based on the most current COVID-19 information.
“Aon consultants will work with employers to build plans on how to keep employees safe while minimizing disruptions to their operations,” Nimmer added. “In these uncertain times, it is important that organizations have the most current information from which to base their decisions to safely maintain vital operations.”
