Whole Health Index is an industry-leading
calculation for defining and measuring the most powerful drivers of
individual and community health
The Whole Health Index (WHI), created by Elevance Health, Inc.
(NYSE: ELV) physicians, data scientists, and researchers, is a
first-of-its-kind assessment of health. Using a scale of 0 to 100,
the WHI can evaluate a person or group’s relative health over time
and assess the physical, behavioral, and social factors that
influence it.

“Understanding a person’s overall health enables tailored
solutions that drive positive health outcomes,” said Shantanu
Agrawal, MD, Elevance Health Chief Health Officer. “We created the
Whole Health Index to help assess health holistically, looking at
its most powerful drivers. By establishing a credible measurement
of individual and community health, we can inform programs and
services that advance greater health and health equity.”
The WHI uses more than 90 data points that fall into broad
categories of physical, behavioral, and social health. These data
points range from food insecurity, transportation accessibility,
and housing instability to preventative dental exams,
immunizations, and treatment for mental health outcomes. Learn more
about the WHI methodology.
Elevance Health recently provided access to WHI data from a
subset of employer health plan members starting with two states,
Missouri and Virginia. WHI data is accessible at the county level
and always de-identified.
