Case Management

Our success with reducing exposures, illnesses, injuries, and costs is indisputable.

IHS’ reductions in the per capita number of injuries & illnesses have been greater than 35%, and the costs per incident have, in some cases, dropped to less than 1/3 of the prior or projected costs. Taken together, these reductions resulted in total costs dropping by more than 65% in some cases.

We achieve these amazing results by restructuring the traditional healthcare model. Instead of waiting for Injuries & Illnesses to occur, then sending the worker off-site for evaluation, usually by professionals less trained or indifferent to your production needs, we start with identification of risks and prevention. Prevention, Treatment & Training go hand-in-hand, but it is the feedback system and coordination with case management that makes the greatest impact.
