Choosing a capable occupational health clinic

Where will your workers go?

It is critical to identify an occupational health clinic where your workers should go if they are injured or have a work related medical complaint.

• Urgent care is not sufficient; you should choose an occupational health clinic which is dedicated to this specialized field of medicine.
• The doctors and staff must all be experienced with work injury treatment, rehabilitation, and return-to-work issues.
• Sending your employees for an unwarranted visit to the ER will certainly result in an expensive bill, with no focus or emphasis on getting your worker back on the job safely and efficiently.
• Choosing a specialized clinic can save you valuable resources and time.

Work injury treatment capability

Far too often, many providers in occupational medicine do no more than simply triaging injured workers. Look for a facility that has all of the necessary diagnostic equipment on-site such as:

• computerized X-Ray
• slit lamp (for eyes)
• hearing booth
• spirometry
• diagnostic lab testing

The doctors should possess advanced injury treatment skills such as setting simple fractures or performing laceration treatment. The facility should be totally prepared for non life threatening injuries, providing immediate care without needing to refer the patient off-site. This minimizes the use of unnecessary specialist involvement.
