IHP is Flexible

The IHP is comprehensive, yet flexible enough to meet your individual needs. You choose what you want to use! Whether you want to assess your member's fitness level, prescribe exercise programs, track health metrics, report outcomes… you decide.

The flexible design of the IHP allows you to begin at a level you are comfortable with, and continually add features as you progress and mature your health and fitness programs.

Ways to Use IHP

Here are just a few ways you can use the IHP.

• Measure and Track Health and Fitness Outcomes – The IHP captures an extensive amount of data for you, so you can quickly and easily generate any report you need to measure the success of your members and your programs, and assist you in making better informed decisions. For example, if you use IHP to record all of your members' health metrics, you'll find valuable information in the Health Metrics Group Summary Report, as well as in custom reports you create so you can isolate members who fall within specific ranges you input. This valuable information may also be used to meet certification requirements for outcomes data collection, and can provide you with valuable reports that demonstrate the health and fitness improvements of your program's participants or alert you to areas that need additional focus and programming.
• Monitor Members as they Track their Exercise, Health Metrics and Fitness Outcomes – A member can exercise and enter their results on their own when it's convenient for them to do so. They can also enter their health metrics such as resting blood pressure and heart rate, weight and waist circumference. As their coordinator and with your member's approval, you can review your members' progress and provide motivating guidance.
• Prescribe Customized Exercise Programs – Build programs for your members with efficient and accurate member information by utilizing questionnaires from fitness experts that guide you in prescribing exercise that is both medically appropriate and a good fit for their lifestyle. The IHP features a wide range of exercise programs that have been developed by health and fitness experts that are ready for you to prescribe to your members 'as is' or you may add customization to a program to meet a member's unique needs. You may also add your own custom exercises along with your own custom exercise photos and video clips to further brand IHP to be your own custom health and fitness management system.
• Conduct the Functional Fitness Test and Record the Results in IHP – You can also choose to monitor your members' health and fitness with a wide variety of evidence based assessments that specifically target the health and fitness needs of older adults. Using the Functional Fitness Test from Roberta Rikli, PhD and Jessie Jones PhD, you will gain valuable information for comparison purposes so you can accurately reassess your members' functional fitness at a later date. And, you can create statistical analysis of your entire membership from this data.
