Mission, Vision and Objectives:
|
Work-Safe Occupational
Health
was formed in October 2001. The MISSION is to build a
support system remaining at the forefront of medical technology
and rehabilitative health care delivery, preventing disease,
promoting wellness, and thereby being responsible corporate
citizens.
This is accomplished by recognizing
that criteria have been set for quality, price, service and
outcome. To fulfill the mission, the vision is to work
jointly with companies and their employees to minimize lost work time
and enhance the health and safety of each worker, striving to keep
employees working and prepare them for job placements that are
appropriate to their impairments.
These goals are achieved
through effective case management, return to work/transitional
programs, occupational health physician networks, duration
guidelines, and treatment protocols geared toward meeting quality
outcome standards and compliance with state and federal
regulations.
Work-Safe,
works collaboratively with employers either on-site at the work
place, or off-site at any of the six ambulatory care centers, to
provide a full spectrum of medical services to accommodate the
company’s geographic locations and patient/worker volumes
throughout Michigan and globally.
