Injured Workers Program
Injured Workers Program: At New Summit Rehabilitation and Healthcare, we offer specialized post-acute services that address the medical and rehabilitation needs of injured workers. The key in meeting the unique requirements of our workers’ compensation population is blending the clinical expertise, high staff-to-injured worker ration (clinical and therapy) and the least restrictive setting to allow these injured workers to thrive medically, socially and psychologically.
Injured workers recovering from complex medical issues such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or long-term repercussions stemming from a work-related injury require specialized care, rehabilitation and options to address pain management. Our integrated care team is equipped to address all of these needs. Injured workers will have access to the latest, most innovative treatments, equipment and medical devices to address their distinct problems.
The New Summit approach
The New Summit approach provides a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition, in an interdisciplinary team approach, with the development of an individualized treatment program. This approach allows for a more accurate prognosis for the individual, and as a result, more specific, appropriate rehabilitation plan. For worker’s compensation cases, the level of involvement of external case managers in our team process allows for smoother transmission of information to the carrier as well as the ability to address any complex problems associated with the rehabilitation process and barriers to functional improvement and discharge planning.
