Proper workplace rehabilitation management is crucial to ensuring that compensation programs are properly administered and workers can easily and safely return to work. To make it happen, you may need to invest in software designed to help you oversee your workplace rehabilitation and health programs. Here are the things you should know about it:

Deployment

Consider using a workplace rehabilitation management system that is cloud-based, so you won’t have to worry about investing in additional hardware and resources. That also simplifies access to information, as it can be done through any web-connected device.

Cost-effective

Make sure that the platform will help you save a lot of time and money down the line. Besides streamlining the way you work, it should eliminate or at least reduce your administrative costs.

Automation

The platform must simplify and streamline the way you work by automating repetitive tasks, particularly those that are prone to errors, like accounting and data entry. Some solutions allow you to drag documents from a source computer and drop them to the select case in the platform to automatically update the data.

Accounting system integration

This feature automatically synchronises invoices and payments occurring between the accounting system and the workplace rehabilitation management software.

Security

The platform should be designed to keep online payments and billing secure and private through cutting-edge encryption methods. That way, more convenience is offered to both employers and patients.

Claims facilitation

Workplace rehabilitation management should help improve the acceptance of claims when they are first requested or submitted. That is possible by eliminating human error when filing claims or reporting information.

Scalable

Every practice or workplace is different, so it is important for the workplace rehab solution to be easily scalable to suit the unique needs of your organisation.

Tracking

There should be a configurable employee expenses feature that lets you monitor contractor costs. Make sure it matches the renumeration policy of your contractors, so it is easier to report against it.

Workcover integration

The workplace rehabilitation management solution must facilitate the claiming process by delivering ready-to-use reports. Full integration should electronically export invoice data to Workcover’s system.

Invoice grouping

This option is essential for fulfilling the invoicing requirements of insurance companies for the sake of compliance. When a billing is included and enabled as ‘single invoice row’ cost, the invoice should group all relevant costs within the invoicing period as long as they have the same charge code and description.
