WebMD online individual action plan

If you select the WebMD online individual action plan, you can begin your online individual action plan from your Home page by clicking on Get Started. You will be taken to the Healthy Incentives Road to Gold Rewards Page where you will find flexibility and multiple options for completing your activities to meet the requirements for gold. You will also find all of the instructions for successfully completing an online individual action plan on that page—if you don’t understand the instructions, call Benefits, Payroll and Retirement Operations at 206-684-1556 or e-mail kc.benefits@kingcounty.gov.

You earn gold by completing 10 weekly goals using any combination of the following options, beginning your first week of activity no later than April 21 and completing it no later than June 29, 2012. To meet a weekly goal, you must complete and record a minimum of three activities during the week—each week runs from Saturday through Friday.

• Make an entry in a planner. You may use one planner or any combination of planners to make three entries to meet your weekly goal of three activities. Planners include stress management, walking, exercise and meal planners.
  
  
• Complete a phase of readings in one of the Lifestyle Improvement Programs—weight management, nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Complete all seven steps and the quiz in one phase of readings to receive credit for one of the three activities you need to reach your weekly goal.
  
  
• Make an entry in a tracker. Health trackers help you track specific personal health measures and activities such as blood pressure, cholesterol and resting heart rate. Each entry counts as one of the three activities you need to reach your weekly goal.
  
  
• Read a King County Health Matters newsletter article. Each month, you can read one article from the Health Matters newsletter as credit for one of the three activities you need to meet your weekly goal. After you have read an article, you cannot earn additional points for reading the same article.
  
  
• Create a personal health record. Create a personal health record so all of the information you need to manage your health is in one place. Each entry you make counts as one of the three activities you need to reach your weekly goal. When you create your personal health record, you will find that it conveniently contains information you already entered in your wellness assessment. 

Each week, you can choose from any of the activities to meet your weekly goal. For example, one week you can make 2 planner entries and make one tracker entry, and the second week you can make three entries in your personal health record, and so on.

After you’ve completed and entered your three entries for the week, click on the “Rewards (check status)” link at the top of the page to return to your updated Healthy Incentives Road to Gold Rewards Page. At your Rewards page, you will be able to see a record of your three entries with the dates on which you recorded them and immediate notification that you have met your weekly goal. After you’ve successfully completed your 10th week of activity, you will also receive immediate confirmation that you have earned gold.
