Whole-Person Care, Real Results: The Impact of Behavioral Health Expertise, from Injury to Recovery

Webinar Description

For injured workers with any type of injury and level of severity, behavioral health issues can seriously impact their recovery journey at all stages. There is a growing understanding in workers’ compensation and the broader healthcare industry that unaddressed behavioral health challenges will negatively affect outcomes, raise treatment costs, and delay return to work.

Depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, and other maladaptive behaviors are predominantly significant concerns for workers who have been seriously injured on the job—particularly for those having experienced catastrophic workplace injuries. Ensuring their behavioral health needs are identified and properly treated is crucial to achieving the best possible outcomes.

In this webinar, three of Paradigm’s behavioral health experts will discuss:

• Incorporating behavioral health management with medical management to attain optimal outcomes
• Addressing the whole person, whole family, and the effects of external stressors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic
• How early behavioral health management can reduce the need for long-term interventions, lower the total cost of care, and improve functional outcomes
• The distinct role of behavioral health specialists—and how their integration into the care team can improve the recovery and rehabilitation trajectory

Join us for unique insights and guidance on early strategies to identify barriers to recovery, and the community and provider resources that can best support the patient and their loved ones.
