Abstract

The article reports on the injury management program developed by Little Rock, Arkansas that has improved care for injured employees while saving money. In 2007, Little Rock contracted with Company Nurse to use the company's workers' compensation injury call center in Denver, Colorado. Little Rock employees now call a toll-free hotline to report all work-related injuries. There, a nurse evaluates the injury and refers the employee to the most appropriate medical facility within the city's preferred provider organization.
