Top Strategies for Effective Communications with Doctors
VIEW Communication with physicians can be challenging when dealing with a difficult workers compensation case. Most physicians are very protective of their practice and their independence related to their recommended treatment plan. Communication is key in this type of situation. It is important to know the right terminology and benefits when discussing treatment options. Risk managers should also be able to effectively influence the physician to consider other treatment options that will result in a better outcome for all. This session will explore the most effective methods to communicate with physicians and how to develop a plan of action when the physician is unwilling to discuss treatment plans for the injured worker.
