Health Risk Appraisal Tool

According to Adam Perzynski (2013), the purpose of an HRA is to establish the risk for disease or death so that one can determine the need to make changes in lifestyle to decrease risk for disease and death. The assessment should be answered accurately and honestly, so that a useful report can be generated.? The importance of having a useful report is so that those at a higher risks levels can receive additional support from their primary care provider or receive additional support with specialized health care providers (2013). While those in the low and moderate risk ranges can make changes with or without the assistance of their primary care provider.

For this assignment I choose the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) tool found on the Healthy Life HRA website (2014). After reviewing other websites, I found this interactive electronic tool to be the simplest due to the fact it allowed participants to sign in as a guest and not create an account to complete the HRA tool. The assessment itself took less than five minutes to complete, no additional paper work, forms, or test results were needed. However, the more the information you have the more exact the results will be.? Once completed, the results were immediately available and participants able to review their health risk. A link to the assessment tool is provided https://healthylifehra.org/samplehra ?along with a personal completed health risk pdf file provided.?

I feel that this website and assessment tool was very beneficial in providing me feedback of my health risk, as well as providing tips and suggestions on how to improve the low health risk.? I felt that this tool wasn’t very in depth. There were very few immediate family health history questions and didn’t provide a complete family history, or no questions pertaining to job title.? Although these questions weren’t asked, I was ultimately okay with this tool because of my family history of heart disease and breast cancer my provider has had me test for the BRCA 1 gene (2018) and has discussed in full detail how to decrease heart disease risk ( American Heart Association, 2018). I’m fully aware of my family health history and have made the appropriate changes needed to decrease my risks long before this assessment was complete. However, most people won’t be aware of their health risks, so for them the tool should be more in-depth. The questions were in a larger font, for those with potential vision issues. I also had my twelve-year-old son read the questions, to determine the level of literacy needed to utilize the HRA tool.??

As a future FNP I would still recommend this tool to my patients because it can give the patient another tangible reason to improve their health by decreasing their risks. With the tool being free and taking less than ten minutes to determine their health risk, it could be beneficial and not a burden. For those patients that have a need for increased visual aids and/or low literacy levels having a printed version in the office having a staff member read the questions aloud would also be beneficial. The utilization of different types and styles of tools to help meet the needs of your patients will further establish a relationship of care and respect in helping those in need.
