Comments on the news
-
"Over the years, I've seen dozens of companies try to implement
aggressive return to work programs. But there are so many moving
parts, so much paperwork and so many stakeholders operating on
conflicting incentives that the programs rarely reach their full
potential. The return-to-work program solves that by getting everyone
on the same page and eliminating the maddening administration that
makes the process so difficult to maintain. The IASIS/Riskonnect team
has created a solution that is literally breathtaking to see." Jack
Tatum, VP, Global Business Development.

"This award underscores the innovative capabilities of the
Riskonnect system. Tim Davidson and IASIS Healthcare were able to
approach their business needs from a different perspective by focusing
efforts on workflow optimization through configuration techniques.
With other risk management systems, implementing the return-to-work
program would require custom development at a cost that wuld have
made it impossible to even consider. But the Riskonnect platform
allows companies to finally address their business challenges without
prohibitively expensive custom-coding. " Roger Dunkin, VP,
Applications & Platform, Riskonnect.

"Operationally, most leadership teams don't understand the steps
involved in returning injured employees to work. When it's explained
to them, they are overwhelmed by the process of complying with HR,
communicating with all parties involved and dealing with obtuse state
laws. For years I have been trying to build a solution to improve this
situation, not just to get all parties involved, but to reduce massive
cost of leakage, which is typically 15% of a company's total loss cost
when people don't actively utilize RTW. With the creation of the
Riskonnect return-to-work program, ALL of the roadblocks are reduced
or eliminated. By utilizing the electronic platform to coordinate who
goes where and when, the process is simplified, streamlined, and
greatly improved. With the integration of the Reed guidelines, all
parties know what to expect on the front end as well. The program is
literally a 'turn key' solution." Tim Davidson, AVP of
Loss Prevention, Safety & Security, IASIS Healthcare.
The healthcare workforce is aging. Experienced employees are critical
for patient care, but as they age, they are less able to manage the
manual requirements of the job. IASIS Healthcare is committed to quality
patient care, and that requires experienced workers. The organization
needed to offer enhanced injury management should an employee become
injured on the job. Davidson envisioned a new and improved
return-to-work program that takes full advantage of the risk management
technology now available to risk managers through the Riskonnect risk
management work platform.
Davidson worked with the Riskonnect team to configure the Riskonnect
risk management work platform to perform exactly as IASIS Healthcare
required, utilizing extensive workflow to automate previously manual
tasks and to ensure injured employees don't fall through the cracks. As
the Affordable Care Act now allows required forms to be electronically
signed, Davidson also incorporated the use of Riskonnect eDocs to
automatically populate template documents using system data, and to
obtain signatures through email. This creative application of the
Riskonnect system demonstrates both Davidson's vision for how technology
can and should support IASIS business processes, and how successful
collaboration between clients and vendors benefit organizations, the
communities they serve, and the individual professionals who are the
driving force behind progress.
