Providing Better Employee Care AND Reducing Work Comp Costs and Claims. Inspirational Keynote Speaker
As a Risk Manager or Safety Manager, or someone else who deals with workplace injuries on a regular basis, you probably see a fair amount of injuries that end up in the clinical system, and therefore as a claim, that leave you scratching your head. But you are a little handcuffed as to what you can do; one the one hand you need to look out for your employees, and make sure they get the care they need. But conversely, you are somewhat responsible for OSHA recordables, claims, and the costs associated with each. So...what do you do? The answer is easy:
YOU...should do Nothing.
That's right, you are not a medical professional, and you don't want the liability for medical decisions. LET US DO IT FOR YOU. A telephonic nurse triage service will serve both parties, employees and employers, and allow you to stand in a safe spot on the sidelines during the initial steps of the injury process. Here's how it works:
For Employers: The RN guides injured employees to the appropriate level of care. We record all calls, and provide all necessary documentation for the workplace injury.
For Employees: Access to a Registered Nurse, a third party medical professional, to help determine care advice. All medications, medical history, etc. can confidentially shared with nurse and is factored into the care decision process. 24/7 accessibility, and up to four calls total if needed.
In most cases, the service will easily pay for itself by offsetting clinical costs and reducing overall claims. The more injuries that occur, the more financial gain there is to be had.
