Transitioning From a Pen-and-Paper Health Risk Appraisal to an Online Health Risk Appraisal at a Petroleum Company

Sara R. Kashima

Chevron Texaco Corporation, Health and Medical Services, based in San Ramon, California, sksh{at}chevrontexaco.com

Chevron Texaco’s Health and Medical Services Department made the decision to use existing technology and transition from a paper health risk appraisal (HRA) to an online questionnaire. A cross-functional team was formed and a year was spent researching online tools to find a vendor who could supply a product best suited to Chevron Texaco’s employee workforce. The purpose of this article is to describe the evolution of a paper-based HRA to an online tool as well as describe the project scope and strategy that a team of employees used in selecting the vendor. The article also describes implementation successes, challenges, and lessons learned in using the online tool with an industrial workforce. The strategy that was followed in deploying the Web site along with initial participation rates for this group of industrial employees are described.

Key Words: health risk appraisal (HRA) • petroleum company • online • health promotion • wellness program • productivity • oil company • energy company
