Health Navigation
The traditional health process is complicated, confusing and expensive. Research even suggests that about 20% of medical care is unnecessary, leading to millions in unnecessary costs.
Medcor’s health navigation uses evidence-based medicine, unmatched proprietary systems, patented assessment methods and top-notch software to make smart decisions about the care patients need, bolster health security and prevent unnecessary claims.
Medcor simplifies the complex world of healthcare by navigating people to the right level of care, at the right time and in the right place. We achieve positive results by integrating our innovative services, dedicated staff and proprietary systems and software.
-
A work-related injury that is incorrectly treated with more than first aid becomes an unnecessary OSHA recordable. We identify the injuries that truly only need first aid using our proprietary technology, care protocols, algorithms and patented assessment methods.
-
Many injuries that need more care than first aid can still be treated by Medcor onsite, saving productive time at work and offsite medical costs.
-
When a referral is needed, we send patients to the appropriate level of care within your provider network. Unlike many clinic providers, Medcor does not operate a chain of offsite healthcare facilities that benefit from the increased utilization of referrals. Because our financial model is not tied to making a profit from insurance claims, we can freely guide workers to the best place for their care in your provider network.
-
Sometimes an employee’s health concern can wait for offsite care until after work. We use evidence-based medicine to make smart decisions about when to recommend offsite care.
-
With a Medcor clinic onsite, we can help employees make the most use of modified and alternate duty. We are there to track their recovery. Medcor telehealth gives the option for remote return-to-work clearances.
-
We do onsite drug and alcohol testing, audiometric testing, respirator fit testing and fitness for duty exams. Doing these onsite is a big cost saver.
-
Medcor promotes Guiding Health Principles for wellness. We support safety programs through data trend analyses, safety program development and safety staffing and training. These services work together to help you create a safe, healthy work environment that minimizes the risk of injury.
-
Our technology captures click feedback data for our employee encounters, whether in person or virtually, that facilitates consistency in delivery of care, documentation, reporting and trend analyses, and monitors outcomes for our own quality assurance programs.
