(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 09, 2012 ) The term “Accident “can be explained as an unplanned event that interrupts the completion of an activity. Unfortunately, accidental injury in the workplace occurs in the millions each year. Employers are required by law to maintain insurance to provide injured workers with both wage replacement and medical coverage for such injuries, regardless of severity. However, certain health care services require preauthorization to help determine whether a proposed treatment plan is medically necessary. This is a process called Utilization Review (UR).
Even though upwards of eight-percent (80%) of all requests wind up being approved through the UR process, UR is a proven strategy to ensure the right care is being delivered so that the injured worker can be restored to productive work with minimal trauma. This process also reduces the total claim costs to the payer by ensuring the care being provided to the injured worker is medically efficacious. Nonetheless, UR can be both costly for the insurance payer and time consuming for the injured worker.
Effective Health Systems has introduced a new technology called BaseLine. BaseLineÂ’s UR Assistant has the capacity to target and automatically approve those requests that will be approved by the UR process using evidence-based and empirically-tested guidelines that are nationally recognized and accepted within the industry. As a result, the bulk of the UR requests that would typically take a few days and cost hundreds of dollars to complete, can be completed within seconds of receipt of the request and at a small fraction of the cost. Thereby, cutting down the number of requests that require the lengthy and costly professional review are cut to a minimum using the targeting technology incorporated into Effective Health Systems UR Assistant.
Effective Health SystemsÂ’ BaseLine UR Assistant operates as standalone web-based program within the companyÂ’s BaseLine inter-operability platform. The UR Assistant can also be integrated as a background web-service solution within a clientÂ’s existing claims or medical management technologies.
