Chief Medical Officer
Overseeing the Clinical Governance for all Medical Aspects of Your Organisation
The role of injury management is to provide an effective response to workplace injuries, enabling the injured employee to either remain at work or return to their role as early as is appropriate. This covers everything from administering first aid at the time of injury to supporting a workers’ compensation claim and designing an injury rehabilitation program.
At Medixhealth, we work with a trusted network of specialists, allied health and diagnostic imaging services to ensure that priority treatment and expert analysis are always available for your workforce. Our aim is to return your employees to their pre-injury capacity as quickly as possible, minimising absences and maximising productivity without compromising on the quality of healthcare delivered.
Strategic Risk Management
Medixhealth’s team of Occupational Physicians will help to identify site injury and risk management requirements within your organisation, scope and develop essential criteria for any health-related service, and ensure that all clinical governance mandates are adhered to. As well as upholding your legal obligations to your workers, developing a strategic risk management plan can also help to boost performance, minimise downtime and increase business output.
Appointing a Chief Medical Officer with a wealth of knowledge across both the medical and business sectors will allow you to benefit from insights into occupational health issues that haven’t been adequately addressed, improving the safety for your employees. In turn, implementing more robust risk prevention and injury management strategies can help to reduce workers’ compensation premiums across your organisation and reduce the impact of legal claims.
