Good morning,

I am new to this private hospital role after leaving 15 years of work at VA, so I may need to ask you all several basic questions!

 

This one is:

Does anyone have a metric or calculator for WC clinical care staffing that you can share? I KNOW that it’s much more complicated than a number, but I need to start somewhere.

 

Alternatively:

What’s your Workers Comp clinical care staffing (when fully staffed)?

How many employees is the WC team responsible for?

How many case managers?

How long is each appointment/ or how many cases a day is reasonable?

 

Even that would help a lot!

 

Thank you,

Wendy
