Nuances to Treating Work Related Injuries

Employers have certain expectations for how they want their workers to be treated when an injury arises. These nuances and practices are not taught during medical or nurse practitioner training or in PA school. Instead, these are usually skills that need to be developed and learned over time. This is where OccDocOne can help.

There are many nuances to treating work-related injuries that most providers may not be aware of. OccDocOne highlights each and every nuance in our visit by visit guidelines. Your providers can “stay out of trouble” while providing great care for their patients. Far too many good Occ Med clients have been lost because of a medical provider’s lack of an understanding of the nuances of Occupational Medicine.
