Injury Management Partners Unveils New Program

Injury Management Partners LLC, www.injurymanagementpartners.com, a firm dedicated to creating products and services that reduce the number, cost and duration of employee injuries, is rolling out a Certified Partner Program to market and implement its Employer STEP Advantage^SM.

The Employer STEP Advantage helps employers analyze their injury management process, establish benchmarks and create and implement process improvement plans. According to Injury Management Partners’ President Susan Toussaint, the number of workplace injuries has decreased during the past decade, but the severity of workers’ compensation claims have increased.

“This suggests that safety programs are helping to prevent injuries, but when injuries do occur, they are not being managed as well as they could be,” Toussaint said. “Employers need comprehensive programs to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time and can remain on the job or return to work as soon as possible.”

By consolidating her 20 years of experience in sales, health care and injury management, Toussaint has developed turnkey consulting programs to be marketed and managed by Certified Partners. Partners include occupational medical centers, workers’ comp insurance agents, and safety and risk-management consultants.

The Employer STEP Advantage enables partners to work with employers to reduce the number of employee injuries and cost of workers’ comp claims. The proprietary system equips partners with training, marketing plans and tools, a fine-tuned assessment methodology, and step-by-step plan to implement the system in the workplace.
