| 摘要： | Have you ever watched medical staff assist professional athletes off the field in one game, only to have them return near peak performance the very next? Or, how having a cutman in the corner can keep a boxer in competition through 10-rounds? If this is the case, why are simple cramps, tweaks and body aches still knocking out our workforce for weeks? We accept this lackluster healthcare performance as the norm in the labor-intensive work sector. We simultaneously bet on our favored athletes to return and earn us coveted fantasy points days later. What if we expected faster and more appropriate levels of care for our workers? Employers or workers are increasingly weary of the cumbersome, predictable occupational health model. Go in for a sore back (not necessarily injured nor with clear mechanism), only to return with two to three weeks of restricted duty, a double dose of NSAIDs, a quick x-ray for good measure, and a referral to physical therapy. A few days later, they feel fine but must wait the course. Just like that, you caught a recordable to the chin and a haymaker of lost time to finish the combo. |
