Overview: meetings. Aside from ensuring a safe and healthful workplace, managers must keep a close eye on the costs of their programs. They must identify and establish best work practices that maximize company resources and integrate cost-avoidance strategies. To help meet this challenge, incident management services are available from qualified doctors, nurses, and outsourcing firms. These services are designed to support company safety goals and targets--while reducing runaway-costs associated with workplace injuries/illnesses. Incident Intervention is a two-phase process, involving pre-loss and post-loss services. Through Incident Intervention, corporate medical directors who work on behalf of clients can consult with the treating physician to establish alternative patient treatments. The corporate medical director will ask the treating physician what type of work the employee can perform and recommend a modified work plan-instead of time off. These "doctor-to-doctor" calls have proven to be effective in reducing workers' compensation claims, preventing lost workdays and getting the employee back into a productive role. Incident Intervention provides critical resources that support health and safety corporate goals-providing managers with measurable results in cost avoidance.
