Methods and systems related to providing cost effective behavioral
modification and coaching support for individuals. Individuals that are
identified as being at risk for being chronically ill or high utilizers
of health care services and as motivationally challenged may be targeted
for contact by coaches trained in behavioral modification. By using a
computer-based system for tracking the individual's progress with respect
to any number of goals, which may include both health care related goals
and non-health related goals desired by the individuals, the motivation
of the individuals may be increased. The attitudinal change brought by
the visible tracking of successful goals may lead to increased compliance
with health care related goals and a decreased usage of health care
services.
