Speaker(s)
Description
Injury recovery is also dependent upon claims philosophy, employee engagement, co-morbidities, psycho-social issues, and pain management. Employers are placing less emphasis on cost reduction and more emphasis on injured worker experience using empathy and advocacy techniques, and ensuring access to information, resources and benefits. Telehealth, an understanding of the importance of medical literacy, and an emphasis on holistic treatment for injured workers all play a role. When quality medical care is rendered and negative external factors are minimized, an injured worker is better able to focus on healing, recovery, and returning to an active and productive lifestyle. Presenters will address key advancements and share proven tactics underlying successful outcomes and results.
