Helping injured employees throughout recovery

Careworks’ surgery advocate services support injured employees throughout their recovery — from “pre-habilitation” preparation for surgery all the way through the healing process. The specialized team provides tools and guidance to improve recovery and facilitate faster return to work.

This pre-habilitation/rehabilitation model means better results for injured employees and their employers. It’s a powerful combination of clinical intervention and innovative technology, bringing lower claim costs, improved outcomes and earlier return to work.

Our surgery advocates focus on:

• Pre-habilitation and supporting injured employees by managing any comorbidities, diet, home preparedness and smoking cessation
• Post-operative care, including monitoring for signs of opioid abuse, documenting progress with exercise and nutrition, and escalating any concerns over progression to the treatment team

The Careworks surgery advocate solution helps injured employees facing surgery prepare both physically and mentally, setting them on the path to a faster recovery.
