Montreal, Canada, April 3, 2006—Presagia Corp® the leading developer and provider of real-time web-centric solutions for health, safety and injury management, today announced that the Official Disability Guidelines from the Work Loss Data Institute (WLDI) have been integrated into Presagia Enterprise for Rehabilitation Providers™ and Presagia Sports™. Presagia clients will have the option to incorporate these into their workflow to gain instant access to the proven evidence-based guidelines. This enhanced feature will support acute decision-making to expedite the delivery of quality care by presenting a range of best-practice treatment options and diagnoses.
Presagia Enterprise for Rehabilitation Providers™ is a comprehensive health information management solution leveraging sophisticated technology and the power of the Internet to respond to the documentation, scheduling and claims workflow requirements of physical therapy, sports medicine and occupational health clinics. Presagia Sports™ is the leading athlete health management solution, empowering sports organizations of all sizes, from Olympic committees to universities, with seamless, secure, Internet-based communication of athlete health information between all personnel involved throughout the continuum of care. These solutions employ advanced technology combined with industry best practices to streamline processes and support enhanced collaboration for state-of-the-art care.
The Official Disability Guidelines are the most widely used and comprehensive database of succinct, straightforward, complete and authoritative evidence-based guidelines derived from an aggregate of over 10 million disability cases and a decade of research, including systematic medical literature review.
The integration of the Official Disability Guidelines with Presagia’s Solutions will enable medical providers to instantly reference complete evidence-based treatment strategies, injury and illness diagnoses, expected duration times and more at the point-of-care. At a time when providers are faced with the demand to provide lower-cost and faster care, this information will enable them to accelerate decision-making and develop high-quality treatment plans. Additionally, by comparing expected duration times and recovery rates to actual outcomes, medical providers can better market the value proposition of their services using ROI figures based on actual numbers.
“Evidence-based guidelines are becoming increasingly important in the medical community,” said Rick Bercuvitz, COO of Presagia. “Presagia is proud to be the first provider of sports and clinic management solutions to offer clients direct access to this powerful value-added service that increases patient safety and expedites decision-making.”
