Workers’ compensation claims can be one of your biggest headaches – and that’s before you factor in lost productivity.  Your people are your most valuable asset, so wouldn’t it be great if you:

• Had a more effective way to get your injured workers back to work?
• Quickly found out when you can expect them back to work?
• Could track their status during treatment?
• Reduced the number of insurance approvals required for each patient’s treatment?

Then ask your healthcare providers to use ProtoHIT.

ProtoHIT  enables evidenced-based medicine. Our protocols provide guidelines based on best practices (which were developed based on over 12,000 cases and 50,000 patient encounters) for 85% of the most common work-related injuries. For those cases that fall outside of these common injuries, your providers will be alerted to know when more treatment is required. And, ProtoHIT works with ACOEM to ensure that all protocols remain current with the latest evidence-based guidelines.

ProtoHIT helps your healthcare providers optimize patient treatment. For example, one customer told us that – prior to implementing ProtoHIT – their inital RTW (Return To Work) estimate for a woman with a sprained wrist was 12 weeks, yet at week 12 she was still not better. They eventually found that an earlier injury was preventing her recovery.  With ProtoHIT,  they would have caught this issue in week 4 and changed the treatment plan.

ProtoHIT enables single approvals. With other systems, one claim can require 30 to 40 approvals for treatment.  To further complicate things, treatment plans for the same injury can vary widely from clinic to clinic and even within the same physician practice. ProtoHIT’s field-tested protocols provides treatment parameters so a single approval per patient can be done quickly – greatly reducing paperwork, faxing, and phone tag.

You can track your injured employees’ status online. It’s all there for your HR, safety and risk managers, accessible 7/24/365 on your dedicated virtual server. They can securely view current data on both claims and patients, including individual patient progress and summary claim information.

And, as soon as your healthcare provider has a diagnosis, you’ll know the date the employee should reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), the return to work target date and in what capacity the employee can return.

With ProtoHIT, you’ll have the necessary data for work process improvement and injury reduction. You can also drill down as to the frequency of injuries by plant or type of production, so you can pinpoint those areas where re-engineering, job re-assignment, or additional safety training is needed.
