Workplace injuries are an unfortunate reality in high-demand, high-stress industries. From the oilfield to construction and transportation. But how quickly and effectively those injuries are managed makes all the difference.
At Precede Occupational Health and Safety, we’ve seamlessly connected our First Call Telehealth Injury Management Program with our Disability Case Management to provide a complete injury care solution, from the moment an incident occurs to an employee’s safe return to work.
The Hidden Costs of Workplace Injuries
When injuries aren’t handled efficiently, both employees and employers suffer. Common challenges include:
- Delays in injury assessment which leads to prolonged recovery times and higher costs.
- Limited access to in-person medical care. Especially for remote or field-based workers.
- Incomplete documentation and communication gaps between employees, HR, and healthcare providers.
- Unclear return-to-work plans increasing downtime and frustration.
How First Call Telehealth Injury Assessments Work
When minor injuries occur, immediate access to medical guidance is crucial. Our First Call Telehealth service provides:
