Case management intervention can help injured workers reach their greatest functionality following severe accidents. Jeremy Romero will explain how case management helped him return to police work six months after sustaining a spinal-cord injury in a patrol-car accident. He will also discuss how case management gained his emotional buy-in while helping him navigate the healthcare system, ultimately aiding him in winning funding for an exoskeleton device. Additionally, Genex’s Patricia Elizalde will detail the role of the case-management process in preventing workers from spiraling into depression and turning to opioids while allowing them to reach their greatest functional potential.
