Coaching For Activation^®

Involving individuals in their own care is widely recognized as critical to better health, improved care, and the more efficient use of healthcare resources.

Insignia Health’s Coaching for Activation^® (CFA) program applies a decade of PAM^® research to help health coaches tailor support based upon a person’s self-management ability. Behavioral activation, and the attainment of guideline health behaviors, is achieved through delivering PAM level-appropriate information, setting realistic goals and planning achievable action steps.

With CFA-guided support, individuals steadily will build their knowledge, skills, and confidence over time. Gains in health activation reflect increased positive self-care behaviors that improve the individual’s quality of life and decrease utilization of high-cost health resources.
