Adjudicating Traditional Wellness.

Adjudicating Traditional Wellness. Am J Health Promot. 2020 Mar 13;:890117120909679 Authors: Terry PE Abstract There is no consensus definition for "traditional wellness" but in worksite health promotion, it usually means the wellness program is a health assessment and/or health screening offering followed by some educational programs, usually in the physical health domain. Using the term traditional wellness may belie an unawareness about or lack of appreciation for the quality improvement principles that are as applicable to the health of a profession as they are to the growth of an organization. This editorial examines how the use of the term traditional wellness is a reflection on our professional zeitgeist. Five ideas that attempt to explain misunderstandings about differing approaches to worksite health promotion are offered along with 5 ways we may be able to make peace with traditional wellness.
