Healthcare companies provide their services in the occupational setting to treat employees when they're injured and prevent injuries before they happen. They help keep workers productive, reduce lost work time, and reduce costs. We interviewed Dan Fronczak, President & Co-Founder of Healthy Roster, about how they help providers expand coverage and grow their businesses. 

According to new research from Travelers Insurance, in their 2022 Injury Impact Report, over one-third of work-related injuries occur to employees during their first year on the job. Regardless of age or industry experience. And they represented 6 million lost work days, making up 37% of all missed work caused by an injury. 

So, the best way to provide workplace safety coverage is...

Too expensive. 

Injury prevention programs have existed for decades. But 4 major gaps exist…

Every industrial workplace struggles to contain employee injuries.

Say the word "onboarding" to any manager or company exec and eyes will roll. Hard. Onboarding means starting something new, something different, and learning new things. Yuck. Nobody has the time or energy for that. But guess what? With Virtual Injury Prevention services from Healthy Roster, it's not hard at all. 

A recent NetSuite article for CFOs — titled "5 Unexpected (and Painless) Ways to Cut Expenses" — contained an interesting survey, as well as useful advice, on how companies can conserve cash.

What are MSDs? 

Before the pandemic hit in 2020, the labor shortage in U.S. factories was already problematic. They found it difficult to fill a large amount of open positions. For many manufacturers and distributors, production got pushed into high gear to handle the increased demand from consumers. Despite the high demand for factory workers, most of the people who had lost service jobs did not migrate to the open jobs on assembly lines. 

Musculoskeletal disorders wreak havoc on nearly every business in this country. 40% of all work-related injuries are MSDs and millions of employees are affected every single year. The majority of these injuries are in the manufacturing and distribution industries because they require heavy lifting and repetitive motion.

Survey after survey finds that people were forced to adapt to virtual care through telehealth out of necessity during the pandemic but a large majority were satisfied with the experience and enjoyed the convenience.

What is interesting is they want to continue with those video visits after the health crisis has ended - as an alternative to in-person visits.
