Sometimes, accidents happen, even at the safest worksites. When they do happen, intensive medical case management is appropriate for complex cases and may require both on-site and telephonic collaboration with the client, providers, carriers, and the employer. At SCM, we understand complex injuries to the CORE and provide Compassionate Outcomes with Results-based Effective Solutions.
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment of medical, emotional, functional, and psychosocial factors with an emphasis on aligning the goals of the patient, health care team, and carrier. When possible, our medical case managers start by visiting the patient. A comprehensive assessment report will be provided as well as a detailed plan of action. After the plan is implemented, continual monitoring and monthly progress reports are provided going forward. The result is better quality care and cost-effective return-to-work. SCM exceeds industry benchmarks for return-to-work and achieves of Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) or Permanent and Stationary (P&S) status.
Our staff of nurse case managers go through a comprehensive and rigorous training program focused on the highest quality management services. We monitor and review cases regularly to ensure the best, cost-effective care management practices are being maintained throughout the life-cycle of the case. Improve the Care, Reduce the Cost.
At SCM, we are here for you in any capacity. We can assist by performing one-time task assignments, consulting on a case, providing comprehensive medical reviews, coordinating with providers, and assisting with all other worker’s comp or injury needs.
