Effective case management of occupational injuries offers the
greatest opportunity to reduce overall medical services costs. Monmouth
Medical Center Occupational Health Services employs a system-wide
approach with dual objectives:
- Providing the best care for the worker
- Coordinating treatment to
facilitate a safe, timely return to full time work.
Each case is assigned a case manager to closely monitor progress.
Monmouth Medical Center Occupational Health Services network of
specialty services and in-house capabilities greatly facilitate
treatment. The advantages are clear.
- Faster appointments
- Elimination of time-consuming referral procedures
- The control of
the treatment schedule by the Monmouth Medical Center Occupational
Health Services case manager, not the employee.
Monmouth Medical Center Occupational Health Services controls
the implementation of modified duty and temporary assignments. Rehabilitation
and post-exposure counseling are also available. Monmouth Medical
Center Occupational Health can work in conjunction with Third Party
Administrators to facilitate the entire care program.
Throughout the process reports are made available to the company.
These may be accessed daily by the company through fax.
Returning workers to full-time status is the most efficient manner
can greatly reduce cost.
