Wendy-

 

Are you talking about WC for the institution that employs you (i.e. Standford for you), or external facing WC Care? I’m assuming you meant your own org since it is very difficult to peg a workforce population of all of the local employers.

 

With that in mind:

 

  1. 1400-ish
  2. 1 MD (just me)
  3. New ot – 45 minutes
  4. F/U – 30, but I have asked to reduce this to 20
  5. No CMs internally, our 2 nurses track and coordinate referrals, but WC CMs are external to our clinic
  6. 1-2 (NE is a pt choice state for WC so I only see the ones that don’t request to see their personal physician
  7. 30-40, I think?

Dear colleagues,

I am SO sorry to bother you, but Stanford’s attempting to metric or benchmark the Workers Comp appointments here to optimize staffing and want to know what others are doing. Would you be able to answer these quick questions?

 

  1. What is the size of the workforce that your workers comp program is responsible for?
  2. How many RNP/PA/MD do you have in Workers Comp?

 

3) How long (eg. 60 minutes) is a NEW patient worker's comp appt with the provider? 

 

4) How long is a follow-up worker's comp appt with the provider?

 

5) How many case managers do you have?

 

6) Any idea How many New injuries you see each week?

 

7) How many WC cases are filed at your place per year? APPROX is fine!

 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Wendy
