Enrolling providers in Confluence Health and throughout Central WA
COHE services are implemented by our Health Services Coordinators (HSCs). HSCs assist providers, workers, and employers in a variety of ways. Examples of HSC standard work include:
- Coordination and tracking of referrals.
- Assessment of barriers to recovery.
- Ongoing monitoring of recovery.
- Refer to community services.
- Assistance with medication issues.
- Coordination of return to work.
- Support during transitions of care.
- Coordination of surgical care.
In addition, HSCs support providers’ best practice work and training. To learn more about HSC standard work, click here.
By working cooperatively with injured workers, employers, and providers it is our goal to return an injured worker back to work as quickly and safely as possible. The success of early return to work results in a significant decrease in long-term disability and related healthcare costs.
