Why Learning More About a Doctor Before an Injury Happens Matters

When an employee gets hurt, employers want to know they are directing their employees to highly qualified physicians who will provide exceptional care.

Patient care should always be the number one priority, regardless of the payor.

One of the questions we hear most often from employers is, "How do I know which doctor is right for my employees?"

The answer goes far beyond a physician's name, specialty, or location.

Employers often want to learn more about a physician's credentials, experience, specialties, communication style, approach to patient care, and experience treating injured workers. They want to understand who may be caring for their employees and what makes that physician a good fit for their organization.

This is where OM can help.

For more than 20 years, employers, carriers, and case management companies have relied on OM as a resource when evaluating physicians. Our team works closely with physicians throughout the country and can provide detailed information about the doctors we partner with, including their backgrounds, specialties, experience, and approach to patient care.

Many employers are surprised by how much information is available when they simply reach out and ask.

Learning more about a physician before an injury occurs allows employers to make more informed decisions and better understand the healthcare resources available to their employees.

In some cases, employers may also want the opportunity to learn more directly from the physician. When requested, OM can coordinate physician introductions, lunch-and-learns, educational in-services, and onsite visits. These opportunities allow employers to ask questions, learn more about specialties and treatment options, and gain a better understanding of the physician's approach to patient care.

Many physicians are also available to visit employer locations to learn more about job duties, physical demands, workplace environments, and injury trends. These visits help physicians better understand the employees they may one day treat and give employers the opportunity to build stronger relationships with local healthcare providers.

At the end of the day, the goal is simple.

To help employers make informed decisions and ensure their employees have access to highly qualified physicians who put patient care first.

If you would like to learn more about a physician, their credentials, specialties, experience, or approach to patient care, OM is available to help.
