CMAP benefits patients
  • Assisting physicians with data that will allow an earlier, more accurate and precise diagnosis resulting in best treatment plans to return you to health and work quicker.
  • Providing “peace of mind” via objective findings that your injuries have been quickly diagnosed and treated.

Workers’ compensation claims payers and the physicians treating their patients should, as a goal strive for an EARLY, ACCURATE and PRECISE DIAGNOSIS of soft tissue injuries. Accomplishing this goal is crucial to ensure that their patients will return more rapidly to health and work. Fulfilling these requirements is vital to achieve improved clinical outcomes.

EARLY
Failure to attain an early diagnosis in the lifecycle of a claim exposes the patient to potentially inappropriate and unnecessary treatments and/or procedures. In addition, a plethora of data exists showing the longer an employee is away from the job the less likely he/she is to ever return.

ACCURATE
It is imperative that the initial diagnosis be accurate. The ability to accurately diagnose the existence and location of an injury allows the care provider to implement best treatment practices and avoid unnecessary treatment protocols.

PRECISE
All diagnoses should be as precise as possible. When dealing with cervical, thoracic or lumbar injuries as well as shoulder injuries it is essential the proper cause of symptoms is identified to avoid long term injury.

Independent statistical analysis has demonstrated that utilization of MED-TEK’s suite of evaluations has provided clear improvements in clinical outcomes.
