Employers are taking action to better manage the dollars spent on injuries and illnesses utilizing various health care professionals and innovative programs. An occupational health nurse is a registered or licensed nurse who is trained in the special healthcare needs of the work environment.
Bellin Occupational Health Solutions has developed an on-site nursing program that provides savings to companies. The savings is realized through case management, on-site care of minor injuries and illnesses, and training/education for prevention and safety.
