“The WorkCare team brings integrity to our program and has taken it to the next level. WorkCare is much more than a staffing-only model.”
A global semiconductor manufacturing company selected WorkCare to deploy an onsite program at two newly acquired sites with around-the-clock shifts. Our team integrated the client’s processes and procedures with our best practices. Implementation efforts included review and revision of nursing guidelines, implementation of WorkCare’s Incident Intervention telehealth triage program to support onsite staff after hours and on weekends, and collaboration with EH&S personnel to update the company’s blood-borne pathogen protection program. We also supported a transition from offsite to onsite medical exams and drug screening , saving time and money.
“From a single telehealth triage site (little acorn) to an established onsite presence at multiple U.S. locations in the aerospace industry (mighty oak).”
WorkCare initially provided our Incident Intervention telehealth triage program at an aerospace manufacturing facility. As our relationship grew, we also established an onsite clinic at the site 5 years later. Through organic growth and acquisitions by this industry-leading corporation, as they grew, we grew with them expanding our programs. We now provide comprehensive services to multiple aerospace companies owned by the corporation. These services include onsite and virtual injury care; medical surveillance exams; occupational physician oversight; fitness-for-work assessments; ergonomic evaluations; and health education, wellness and first-aid training programs. At one location we were instrumental in reducing the number of OSHA-recordable injuries from 85 to three within one year. At another site, our clinical expertise was recognized for significantly reducing health care costs for the company while increasing employee satisfaction.
“There are physical and mental health benefits associated with empowering employees to make informed decisions about their own care in the event of a non-serious injury.”
A casual restaurant chain with more than 4,000 employees across multiple states works closely with WorkCare’s team to intervene immediately in the event of a non-emergency work-related injury. After introducing our Incident Intervention telehealth triage program, self-care/first aid rates increased from 50 percent to 68 percent within two years after implementation. For employees seen in a local clinic, WorkCare successfully performed physician peer consultations with the treating provider 90 percent of the time, with 32 percent of employees returning to regular duty, 55 percent returning with temporary activity restrictions and only 14 percent taken off work for one or more days. Other outcomes reported by the company include fewer disability days, more precise injury causation determinations, and improved employee confidence and trust in medical providers.
“One of our very first clients… still with us today.”
WorkCare has provided a leading international provider of engineering, construction and technical services with medical and consulting services for many years. The initial contract involved about 800 employees. We now collaborate with onsite EH&S team members to effectively manage medical exams, travel, telemedicine and expatriate programs for more than 90,000 employees around the globe, including war zones. Our experience includes exposure to U.S. Department of Energy contracts and successful engagement in highly complex operations.
“Thousands of employees doing physically strenuous and mentally demanding work depend on WorkCare to help keep them healthy, safe and on the job.”
WorkCare has operated a full-service onsite clinic at an expansive U.S. petrochemical construction site from its inception. As the project nears completion and transitions to production, we will adjust to meet changing needs. Our onsite medical director provides clinical leadership for a staff that includes occupational physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and paramedics/occupational health technicians who are crossed-trained in clinic functions. A regional account manager is responsible for all administrative and operational aspects of the client relationship. In addition to medical exams, first aid, care for routine medical complaints and emergency response, we support employee wellness and chronic disease programs. We also produce weekly health-related toolbox talks, posters and a clinic newsletter for the site’s monthly Health Workplace campaign.
"We deeply appreciate the opportunity to support the commitment of one of our largest clients to employee health and well-being."
WorkCare has been providing a major wholesale company with Family and Medical Leave Act and other absence management services since 2007, with an exceptionally high number of successfully resolved cases. We provide Incident Intervention telehealth triage services in compliance with regulations in the U.S. and Canada. WorkCare has created custom-branded training materials, reports and programs for each warehouse location. We also collaborate closely with the company’s other employee health and claims management partners to produce optimal outcomes.
"In addition to managing potential exposures to a range of hazardous substances, we have developed specialized programs for employees with allergies or asthma, which are two conditions associated with work absence."
An internationally recognized renewable energy company has engaged WorkCare to provide in-depth employee health management consultation and a full range of medical surveillance exams since 2002. We scale our services to meet seasonal workforce demands. We consult on human toxicological and epidemiological issues, oversee an industrial athlete stretch and flex program, and have open lines of communication with local medical providers.
"Through mergers and acquisitions, WorkCare continues to maintain strong ties with the company to ensure employee health is protected while working abroad."
Since 2010, WorkCare has been serving as this prominent engineering company’s strategic global medical provider of occupational health-related services for employees deployed on international assignments. Services include customized laboratory baseline and exit exams, fitness-for-duty exams, vaccinations, and fulfilling record retention and immigration medical requirements. Our physicians also provide medical review officer services, technical medical advice, and consultation on wellness and health management policies.
"We collaborate on injury prevention and management solutions across the care continuum with our innovative utility partners."
In 2010, WorkCare entered into an agreement to provide an Incident Intervention pilot program to 550 employees of a utility company; within a year the program was extended to 20,000+ employees and continues to grow. Throughout our engagement, the company has reported significant related benefits including lower workers’ compensation claim costs, higher return-to-work rates, improved short-term and long-term disability case outcomes, and better employee satisfaction scores. Another utility company recently enrolled in WorkCare’s Bio-Ergonomic Surveillance program to provide enterprise-wide insights to minimize health and business impacts associated with over-exertion injuries, improve the company’s job rotation program and support return-to-work initiatives.
"When frozen water pipes shut down the onsite clinic, WorkCare’s staff helped move operations to a temporary location, continued to perform regulatory exams and drug screens on schedule, and provided injury care during clinic cleanup and renovation."
WorkCare was approached by a mining operation seeking comprehensive medical support for its workforce. In response, WorkCare entered into an agreement to provide a consulting medical director, medical surveillance, and onsite medical services, including emergency response. To further enhance care, WorkCare also introduced Incident Intervention telehealth triage and a robust drug testing program. Despite the mine’s remote location, WorkCare successfully deployed a skilled team of onsite medical professionals. These staff members offer first-aid services and treatment for both occupational and non-occupational injuries and illnesses. All personnel are overseen by the medical director, ensuring high-quality care and continuous supervision. Through this partnership, the mining operation has gained reliable, expert medical support that enhances worker safety and well-being, even in one of the most challenging environments.
"Your medical clinic is an exciting project that has had material impact to the health and safety of our employees."
WorkCare partnered with an aerospace company to provide Incident Intervention services, and after much success, five years later, expanded the relationship by adding onsite clinic services at multiple manufacturing locations. One notable success occurred at a key manufacturing site, where the introduction of the onsite clinic led to a dramatic improvement in safety. The site’s annual OSHA-recordable rate plummeted from 85 to just 3 after the clinic began operations, demonstrating the significant impact of proactive healthcare and injury management on worker safety and well-being. This partnership continues to support the company’s commitment to a healthier, safer workforce.
"We review qualifications and audit the performance of clinic providers in the U.S. and abroad who provide medical services to our client’s employees to ensure they receive quality care."
In 2019, WorkCare’s consulting medical director, alongside the company’s in-house industrial hygienist, presented a groundbreaking respirable crystalline silica exposure prevention and management model at a major professional conference. This innovative approach was well-received and highlighted the company’s commitment to worker health and safety. The collaboration didn’t stop there. WorkCare and the company worked together to develop a series of key initiatives, including protocols for managing exposure hazards, drug-free workplace policies, and emergency preparedness and response plans. Additionally, a comprehensive case management and return-to-work program was established, further enhancing workplace safety and supporting injured workers. Through these collaborative efforts, the company has created a stronger, safer environment for its employees while setting new standards in occupational health and safety.
