Healthy employees show increased productivity, energy, creativity and attention to service, and they are less likely to get sick or injured. Occupational Health Services helps employers and employees by providing a coordinated set of services to improve the health of each individual, so he or she remains healthy, avoids injury, and if an injury does occur, the employee returns to work faster. OccuMED Case Management OccuMED is a free case management program for local employers using our hospital-based worker's compensation system. Through case management, employers can effectively handle work-related injuries and control workers' compensation costs over the long term. The challenge of negotiating the increasingly complex workers' compensation system can also be avoided.
Employees benefit by having a single contact point for workers' compensation questions or concerns.
Additionally, by analyzing an employer's existing program, recommending areas of improvement and streamlining care, OccuMED can actually help prevent unnecessary treatment, and reduce injuries and lost-time cases. Our data management and computerized tracking system closely monitors employees throughout their treatment period. This individualized employee information is provided to employers in a customized format, detailing the information they need to know. All lost-time cases are reviewed regularly by OccuMED nurse case managers to ensure that employees are receiving the treatment they need for a quick recovery. The entire process assures the highest standards of medical care for employees and the best use of employers' workers' compensation dollars.
