Features & Benefits
High Quality Care
Meridian Occupational Health specializes in providing high quality medical care and rehabilitation for work-related injuries and illnesses.
Meridian Occupational Health is proud to be NAOHP-certified, which means you can be assured that we are considered the "gold standard" in the industry, delivering the highest quality health care services to the workforce in our community.
Timely Service
Injuries are triaged, and most cases are seen on the same day of injury. In addition to providing high quality care, we also recognize your need to maintain productivity, so we are sensitive to the amount of time your employees are away for medical appointments. We monitor and audit admission and discharge times. And we strive for treatment times of one hour or less for initial injuries and 30 minutes or less for follow-up visits.
Early Return to Work & Modified Duty Plans
Occupational Health uses a combination of modified duty, appropriately scheduled follow-up exams, orthopedics referrals, and aggressive physical therapy (when needed), to assist in treatment and accelerate case closure.
Modified duty is vital in improving productivity and reducing lost time claims. Our physicians assess, document, and communicate the injured employee's diagnosis, prognosis, and duty restrictions to the employer and other appropriate parties.
Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
The goals of our physical therapy program are to prevent and treat industrial injuries. Working in conjunction with our physicians and clients, our physical therapists expedite the return-to-work process. Aggressive therapy focuses on alleviating patients' symptoms and educating them on preventing injuries in the future. We also emphasize to employees that they're personally accountable for their own recovery, future safety, and medical improvement.
Timely Communications
An individual employee treatment plan is provided at the end of every visit. These reports enable monitoring the return-to-work process, maximizing employer-physician communication and case-by-case accountability. Our secure website, iSYSTOC, allows the employer to view pertinent information in real time.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
Whether you are an "Industrial Athlete" suffering from an injury or an employer seeking Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) to ensure your staff is safe and able to perform up to their job description, we have the state-of-the-art technology and expertise in biomechanics to improve job-specific function. MotionXcellence Operational Mechanics utilizes the latest computerized 3D motion capture technology, breaking your movements down into 120 slices per second (four times the resolution of other cameras). Learn more about this new technology by emailing us at motionxcellence@meridianhealth.com.
