Occupational Nursing
Employers of all sizes face issues in managing the complexities of Workers' Compensation cases including dealing with time-consuming paperwork, facilitating employees' return to work after injury, minimizing treatment costs, lost time and disability.
Occupational nurses can play a key role in reducing healthcare costs through health screening and education programs, and by monitoring and managing medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. On-site nurses also help employees make appropriate referral choices when required.
Carilion On-Site Nursing offers a complete array of occupational nursing services available to employers. Or we can staff your full-time occupational health program. Either way, we'll take care of everything so you won't have to.

Improved Productivity and Decreased Costs
Carilion On-Site Nursing can help your company achieve significant cost savings. Early detection and treatment of illness means a healthier workforce and lower costs for healthcare benefits and employee sick time. Increasing safety awareness helps reduce the number of accidents and related Workers' Compensation costs.
Treating minor injuries on site decreases medical costs by reducing the number of trips your employees make to emergency departments and urgent care centers. Healthier employees and fewer accidents encourage increased productivity.

First, we'll complete a thorough, cost free evaluation of your facilities. Based on your company's needs and the hours needed weekly to support your On-Site Nursing program, we can recommend a mix of services that's right for you. Ongoing evaluations mean that adjustments can be made to the program based on actual experience.
