Thank you for participating and taking the health risk assessment (HRA).

The HRA can be used to learn about potential health risks that are related to your lifestyle and family history. This is a secure Web site that leads you through a series of questions that help determine your individual health risks. At the end of the questionnaire, you will receive a customized report that will explain these risks.

For specific health risks, the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) provides additional information on each topic, including ways to reduce your risk and lead a healthier lifestyle. You can use your user name and password to log in to the HRA as often as you like to revise your answers, review your health risks and chart your progress.

By using the HRA, you are taking a positive step forward in protecting and improving your health. As you complete the HRA, remember that your results will depend on how accurately and completely you answer each question.

Before You Begin the HRA

To get the most from PAMF's HRA, it is helpful to know the following personal health information:

1. Your blood pressure

2. Your LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol -- often labeled "bad cholesterol" -- score

3. Your HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol -- often labeled "good cholesterol" -- score

4. Your triglyceride score -- triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood

5. Your total cholesterol score -- the total amount of all cholesterol in your blood

If you do not have all of this information, you can still take the HRA, but some of the reports will be incomplete. If you obtain these scores in the future, simply return to the HRA, log in with your user name and password, fill in the missing information and review your revised report.

Rambus Inc. will receive an aggregate report of all completed HRA surveys, which it will use to help customize wellness efforts. Please be reassured that no identifying information will be provided, and your personal information will be kept confidential by PAMF.

PAMF has always taken great care to protect patient privacy and has been compliant with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) since it was enacted. HIPAA protects health information including all individually identifiable health information that is transmitted or maintained in any form or medium.
