Our employer-based case management model programs utilize early intervention, communication, coordination, and evaluation of treatment in the management of Workers’ Compensation claims.

Consulting services include assessment of scope of services, policies and procedures, standards of practice and personnel as compared to best practices; and recruitment and retention strategies for employee occupational health personnel to support gate-keeping, injury prevention and early return-to-work.

We work with our clients to develop appropriate opportunities to streamline and integrate management of their occupational and non-occupational health programs with employee health programs and disability management programs. Our ultimate goal for our clients is savings as a result of decreased cost of absence, improved productivity and more efficient administrative processes. Additional goals are enhanced services and support for injured and ill workers and earlier return to work for all employees.

“Occupational health case management is unique in that it focuses on the mutually beneficial relationship between the employee and the employer. Certified occupational health nurses routinely communicate with employees, employers, healthcare providers and attorneys to modify work tasks to accommodate temporary and permanent disabilities…while maintaining a perspective on the best care at the right time by the right provider, and delivered at an appropriate cost. ”
