When an injured employee is brought to the IRC, the staff responds promptly in a caring, comfortable atmosphere. The Emergency Department at Memorial Hospital is an integral part of the IRC, providing treatment when the centers are closed.

The IRC physicians monitor each injury, whether treated in the IRC or in the Emergency Department. This ensures that each employee receives the highest quality of care while avoiding unnecessary treatment or follow-up, thereby expediting their return to work.

Additionally, there is regular communication between the IRC clinical staff and the participating company to track an employee’s progress. Questions are handled quickly and personally. Communication is invaluable in maintaining the health and well-being of the employee as well as the efficiency of an employer’s day-to-day operations.

The IRC offers many types of physicals, ranging from Post-Offer to annual and executive physicals. These serve as excellent tools for evaluating an individual’s ability to perform tasks to health maintenance and assessment of current medical conditions. Since requirements differ from company to company, the availability of the IRC’s broad range of services allows these examinations to include any type of testing required or requested. Physical examination results are provided by phone to the company contact person, often within 24 hours of the appointment. Available testing includes Audiometric evaluations, Titmus II vision testing, grip testing, lift capacity, work simulation evaluations, pulmonary function, respiratory physicals and N-95 fit testing.

The IRC offers injury related treatment and follow-up with employers, works compensation insurers and other involved parties to provide quality, cost effective intervention including medical assessment of the injury, testing, radiology, continued treatment and physical therapy. The goal is to collaborate with the employer and employee in an effort to minimize lost work time and return an individual to there previous employment duties. We can help with OSHA recordables and non-recordables.
