We focus steadfastly on that and the rest follows. Patients get healthier faster, many more return to work, insurance companies save money, and everybody wins." He adds, "What this means for us is that we have a level of confidence in our results that allows us to put our fees on the line and guarantee our outcomes. No one does that in the industry. We have a unique model designed specifically to address the needs of those with highly complex and catastrophic injuries that yields much better results than traditional case management can offer these patients." Founded in 1991, Paradigm Management Services, LLC, www.paradigmcorp.com is the nation's leading provider of catastrophic and complex medical management services to the workers' compensation industry. Paradigm leads the industry in its ability to measurably improve medical outcomes and reduce costs with specialized techniques, data, and tools. Unlike traditional case management companies that are designed to deliver solutions solely for non-catastrophic cases, Paradigm's management model is designed to focus on the most medically complex and catastrophic injury types (including chronic pain, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, wounds, severe burns and multiple traumas), and delivers 5x the industry average in helping these patients get healthy and back to work. The Milliman study indicated that Paradigm has a success rate of more than 99% in achieving or exceeding targeted outcomes for managed cases, and consistently generates 36% total cost savings for employers, insurers, and other stakeholders. The full study can be reviewed on request. Interviews with key Paradigm and Milliman spokespeople can be arranged as well as Return to Work patient interviews and profiles.
