Case Management

The successful outcome of preventing Unnecessary Work Disability is highly correlated to successful case management and helping the worker progress through the various stages of recovery and RTW.

Case Management activities can range from an initial intake to medical management to return to work planning and everything in between. However, to be successful at preventing Unnecessary Work Disability return to work is a required goal to achieve.

Vocational Recovery – Vocational Recovery is simply the process towards gainful employment. This can range from returning to their own job, transitional work, alternate work, and retraining.

Our approach

PathForward Survey

An effective Vocational Recovery and RTW program should do two things: strengthen the worker’s experience AND reduce duration. Most surveys focus on whether the worker received good customers service. Customer service is important but there is mounting evidence that it is not enough to solve the unnecessary work disability problem. Customer service is not a proxy for engagement. Your survey needs ensure you are looking at the factors the engage and activate workers in their Vocational Recovery and RTW resulting in a timely return to the workplace.

The benefits of understanding how your Vocational Recovery and RTW is running
- Understand the Effectiveness and Efficiency of your Program. We will show you where the gaps in your program are.
- Improve worker reentry after an illness or injury. Do you know if your transitional duty program is promoting or inhibiting the return to regular duties? Is it working efficiently or is it prolonging total duration?
- Increase accountability from service providers. How do you know if your TPA or Vendors are doing a good job? Are there blind spots in your program that are creating unnecessary delays in RTW?
Web based, Fast, Cost Effective – We look after it for you. We deploy the surveys so they remain confidential. We send out the invites and reminders.
Data driven – Qualitative and Quantitative data analysis is a potent combination to uncover the insights necessary to make meaningful adjustments to your Work Disability Prevention Program. We apply industry experience, data analysis expertise, and behavioral insights into your survey data. This is where the gold is. We will walk you through the findings and how to implement the recommended improvements.

You need a system to measure how you are doing bring workers back to work, after an injury or illness, and preventing the harm of unnecessary work disability.

Our survey will provide you with a Path Forward for ongoing improvements with actionable insights to implement.
