Occupational Medicine Services
Injury Management and Job Assessment
Urgent care-level injury management services are available
on-site at both Occupational Medicine Services locations.
This service affords your company two distinct advantages:
- Faster access to treatment facilitating more timely information
back to the company and a quicker return to work, and
- Knowledge of the work place and employee's responsibilities
to help determine the amount and level of work an employee
recovering from injury can handle.
After we have assessed the injured worker, our staff telephones
your office before the employee leaves the Occupational Medicine
center to discuss the diagnosis, treatment plan and ways of
maintaining the employee in the work environment.
Our on-site pharmacy service saves additional employee time
often consumed traveling to a pharmacy for medications.
Follow-up care is also coordinated by Occupational Medicine
Services, ensuring you of appropriate referrals to specialists,
ongoing evaluation of treatment progress and knowledge of
the employees improving capabilities.
In the later evenings or on weekends, employees of our client
companies are fast-tracked in the Battle Creek Health System
Emergency Department at the Community site. The next business
morning, our staff will know of your employee's visit and
can begin immediate follow-up communication and care.
We Are Also Good At Preventing Injuries
Members of the Occupational Medicine staff are skilled at
performing on-site job design assessments. These reviews of
the work place, specific jobs and detailed job descriptions
help us work together to reduce the likelihood of work place
accidents and injuries occurring. If our macro-level evaluation
indicates the need for further study, we can facilitate a
full ergonomic analysis of a specific job or work station,
or of your entire facility. Complete ergonomic analysis can
be provided through our partnership with the nationally respected
firm of Gary Nederveld & Associates.
In addition to preventing injury, job design assessments
allow our staff to become familiar with your work site. With
this information we can make more informed recommendations
relative to post-job offer physical examination standards,
return-to-work opportunities and follow-up care for injuries.
