As part of our thought leadership program, Sedgwick’s experts continue to give an inside look at the ways we are partnering with clients to achieve results in care management. In our latest white papers on narcotic management and provider benchmarking, Kimberly George, SVP, Managed Care Practices and Client Services, shares more about how we set our standards to ensure effective care for injured workers while also achieving sound financial outcomes for employers.
Narcotic management
How can employers help injured workers while ensuring appropriate use of narcotics and reducing unnecessary costs? Sedgwick offers clients the most comprehensive portfolio of tools and strategies to address the challenges of narcotics management in the nation.
Take a look into our process; see how we go beyond narcotic utilization statistics and reports, bringing together the right people and tools to understand and impact every step of the prescription management process. Find out why our approach results in a program focused on safety and return to work, with lower costs and better clinical outcomes for patients.
Provider benchmarking
While the industry continues to focus on solutions to further expand provider networks, Sedgwick understands quality, not quantity is most important. The most effective workers’ compensation programs begin with medical providers who are committed to outstanding results while managing costs, and focus on meeting the needs of injured workers and their employers.
Our five-star provider benchmarking program uses a quantitative methodology to measure the quality of care provided to injured workers and then uses that knowledge to build superior networks, enabling customers and colleagues to identify providers who achieve the most successful claims outcomes. Read more to learn why clients participating in Sedgwick’s program consistently realize a 20% reduction in total cost of risk with their average medical, indemnity and expense costs down.
Also, continue to monitor Sedgwick’s website for further news and resources, including upcoming podcasts and additional care management-focused studies.
