EK Health and employer risk managers present program at National Workers’ Comp Conference Nov. 9-11
SAN JOSE, Calif. & LAS VEGAS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--An inside look at an innovative medical management program that helps injured workers avoid re-injury is being presented at the National Workers' Compensation and Disability Conference® & Expo November 9-11 in Las Vegas.
A team of experts, including employer risk managers and physicians nationally known in the workers’ compensation industry, are leading the panel discussion called “Reducing Re-injury Through Early Intervention Functional Restoration.”
The presentation is based on indications that injured workers with poor coping skills are more likely to suffer re-injuries, a problem the panelists help solve through a high-touch, high-tech medical management program they call “Early Intervention Functional Restoration.”
Leading the program at the conference’s 10:15 a.m. Friday, November 11th session are:
Douglas Benner, M.D., Medical Business Product Development Officer, EK Health, San Jose, CA.
Melvin Belsky, M.D., medical director for large self-insured company
Anita Weir, Director, medical and disability manager
William Zachry, risk management executive
“Early Intervention Functional Restoration” identifies injured workers at risk for delayed recovery or return to work, and targets them for accelerated treatment, an approach that dramatically reduces lost work days. Conference attendees will learn how this injury prevention and safety program helps employees with poor coping skills return to work, and how employers and risk managers can implement the program at their workplace.
