Occupational Medicine
Occupational Medicine is a specialized clinical practice addressing conditions caused or worsened by the patient's work place or work place environment. Unique features of the Occupational Medicine include:
- treatment of acute injuries
- health promotion
- hazard analysis
- surveillance
- responsiveness to employer's needs
Many employers have a pressing need to lower their Worker's Compensation costs. The increasing costs of premiums make it difficult for profit-making and non-profit employers to efficiently deliver products and services to their markets and communities. An effective Managed Workers' Compensation program can reduce an employer's direct Workers' Compensation loss costs by 40% or more.
Occupational Medicine offers a Managed Workers' Compensation program which delivers improved clinical and functional outcomes as expeditiously as possible by coordinating all aspects of care for an injured worker.
