Field case management
We provide field case management services for injuries that are more severe or complex. Our case managers attend on-site visits to address concerns and communication issues between providers, employees and employers, complete return to work assessments, and discuss treatment and disability guidelines with providers. They accompany the injured employee to medical appointments and discuss return to work strategies with the provider based on the employee’s functional ability. For many types of injuries and illnesses, providing nurse case management services face-to-face can help ensure the best possible outcomes.
Surgery nurse services
Our surgery nurses focus on building relationships, setting expectations for injured employees and creating a customised programme prior to surgery to set them up for success. Our solution includes a pre-habilitation/rehabilitation model that helps employees prepare their mind and body before surgery and provides education and guidance to improve the outcome. When an injured employee is engaged in their recovery, before and after surgery, it can reduce the likelihood of costly complications, improve recovery times and facilitate a safe, healthy return to work.
