"Management is the art of getting things done through people."
Mary Parker Follett (1868 - 1933)
HSE statistics reveal that sickness absence now accounts for around 10% of a company's profits. Approximately 80% of all ill health costs are due to musculoskeletal and mental health disorders.
As well as bearing the prohibitive cost of employee ill health, businesses are faced with the additional burden of legislative compliance. Healthcare RM offers expert business healthcare case management services and guidance across all areas of employee health to mitigate the effect it has on your business and the wellbeing of your workforce.
We typically save our customers 40-50% of the cost of ill health in areas related to:
- Back pain
- Shoulder disorders
- Stress
- Anxiety and Depression
Our cost savings are calculated across reductions in sickness absence, disability discrimination, employer's liability, EAT (Employment Appeals Tribunal) and incapacity.
We'll help you reduce the cost of ill health to your organisation and support you with compliance issues such as health and safety and disability discrimination. At the same time we can provide clear advice and recommendations to line managers and HR managers to enable them to make informed and cost-effective decisions.
We aim to achieve a result for your business as quickly and as cost effectively as possible, while managing the clinical, social and occupational aspects of each case professionally and tactfully to ensure your employees receive the most appropriate and timely assistance with their health problems.
To this end, we actively manage a case from an early point of an illness or injury (preferably before an employee is absent) and arrange early intervention wherever appropriate. We use both the NHS and the private sector to facilitate any necessary treatment.
Healthcare RM's business healthcare case management services are entirely telephone based, and therefore accessible countrywide. Our expert case managers have specialised skills in telephone triage and use validated assessment tools as part of the assessment process in each case referred.
Complex healthcare case management
On occasions, a case may need to be referred to our Senior Complex Case Management Team. This would occur when, due to its complexity, the nature of the medical condition has wider occupational implications, such as a significant health and safety risk to the employee, other colleagues within the business or members of the public. This would also apply to any case that has the potential to result in an employer's liability or employment tribunal, a permanent health or incapacity assessment or vocational case management.
Healthcare RM is highly experienced in managing every aspect of employee ill health and injury including:
- Cancer
- Cardiac
- Alcohol and Drug Disorders
- Epilepsy
- Diabetes
- Asthma
- Sleep Apnoea
- Skin conditions
- Occupational Disease
A key benefit of our business healthcare case management services is that we access appropriate research to support award or denial of benefit, as well as considering rehabilitation, modified duties, redeployment, outplacement and capability.
We only recommend awarding a benefit when all other possibilities have been exhausted or where it is apparent that the case is severe enough to warrant an immediate award. This is because research has shown that this approach is more beneficial for the individual, in addition to saving money for the insurance company or pension scheme.
All cases where recovery is a possibility will be reviewed on a regular basis. The timing of the review will be dependent on the nature of the illness. We particularly recommend review of cases post- award of incapacity pension for partial incapacity cases. Healthcare RM healthcare case management services deliver a substantial return on investment.
