Injury Screens
ErgoMed has developed a medical “triage” program designed to reduce the number of workers’ compensation claims. This program specializes in providing immediate assistance to workers who have suffered a strain/sprain type injury. ErgoMed client data indicates this program has decreased the number of recordable strain/sprain type injuries by nearly 60%. Most injuries are legitimate. Those individuals will receive conservative care not only designed to resolve the injury but decrease the risk of future injuries. ErgoMed’s Injury Screening Program has dramatic impact on fraudulent claims as well. Conducting maximum effort testing at the point of injury provides documentation and validation of the legitimacy of the injury. As one ErgoMed client stated, ”Why do we want to treat an injury for several weeks without ever knowing if the person is even hurt?”.
