Injury Triage

When an employee has just been injured, someone needs to quickly decide what to do next. “Can the injury be managed with simple first aid? Is watchful waiting indicated? Does the employee need to be sent to urgent care or the emergency department?“.

It’s important to get it right, and that’s why companies rely on WorkSTEPS Injury Triage to help them determine the best course of action for employee injuries or illnesses. With 24/7 pre-claim telephonic injury assessment, you can be assured that injured employees will receive the right level of care.

WorkSTEPS Injury Triage and Medical Management will help you:

• Avoid costs associated with care that is more than necessary to address an employee’s injury
• Make sure off-site care referrals are to providers who will provide high quality, appropriate care
• Reduce claims, costs, and litigation due to uninformed decision-making
