The Healthcare Risk Management Practice was created in recognition of the potentially devastating consequences that injuries on the job can pose within health care organizations given operating revenue is lost at a rate of four to 10 times the direct costs of a work-related injury, and the cost to replace an employee is 1.5 times his annual salary. The practice is designed to assist clients in reducing costs associated with work-related accidents.
MECC says Healthcare Risk Management Practice designs and implements a wide variety of best practice programs, including developing transitional duty return to work procedures; addressing sharps/needle stick incidents or combative patients; reducing slips, trips and falls; and a safe patient handling program.
The practice also offers services in addition to program design and implementation, from access to hundreds of training resources online to benchmarking reports, online seminars and on-site training, says MECC.
