Whole Worker Approach Revolutionizes Claims and Recovery

Dr. Dan Carlin’s Whole Worker approach transforms workers’ compensation by focusing on the injured worker’s physical and emotional well-being. Utilizing telemedicine, this model ensures continuous physician involvement from the initial injury to maximum medical improvement (MMI). The process begins with a telemedicine consultation on the first day of injury, providing immediate care and reducing anxiety. The physician remains in contact, managing treatment plans and follow-up appointments, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

The Whole Worker model addresses the complexities and stress of workers’ comp by offering clear, continuous communication and care. It reduces off-site medical incidents, lowers claims costs, and cuts down on indemnity expenses by facilitating quicker returns to work. The results speak for themselves: significant reductions in medical incidents requiring off-site care and substantial savings in claims costs.

Dr. Carlin will share more insights and real-world examples of the Whole Worker model at National Comp 2024 in Las Vegas, demonstrating how this innovative approach improves recovery outcomes and financial efficiency in workers’ compensation.
