How does MedTechnologies benefit employers and potential future employees?
MedTechnologies software solutions can positively impact employee health and safety before a costly disabling injury or work-site illness, and improve productivity:
- Whether or not you are currently doing pre-employment health examinations
- Decrease the risk of new employees being placed in a work environment that can result in injury
- Optimize and individualize employee work assignments, in order to place your new employees in a safe work environment
- Identify individualized employee needs and recommended targeted interventions (occupational and other health support programs), deploying limited resources only to employees who specifically need them
If you are already systematically doing pre-employment health examinations or are planning on implementing a pre-employment health program:
- Cost savings for employers by reducing over 50% the need for a formal pre-employment medical examination
- convenience for candidate employees who do not need a formal pre-employment health examination, and who can simply access MedTechnologies ’screening algorithm on their own time from the comfort of their home
- Streamline the employment process, reduce timeline, and hence improve efficiency for employers and future employees
MedTechnologies pre-employment health screening algorithm has been retrospectively validated with over 600 formal pre-employment health examinations for 25 employers, spanning a 7 years period.
It has been built by a team of physicians with expertise in occupational health, occupational therapists, certified human resources and legal consultants.
It has shown to reduce by over 50% the need for a formal pre-employment health examination, as all of the candidates with a normal MedTechnologies screening would be found to be fit for work following a complete pre-employment medical examination. Most candidates requiring a formal pre-employment examination based on MedTechnologies screening algorithm are still found to be fit for work, and some are found to be fit for work with specific restrictions.
Only a minority are found not to be fit for the specific work requirements that occupational interventions cannot reasonably accommodate.
How does it work?
Employers email candidate employees a unique secure portal access code. Once the employee candidates complete the confidential MedTechnologies screening algorithm, individualized reports are made available to the employer via their own secure portal.
Recommendations will include whether a formal pre-employment medical examination is indicated, and which elements need to be evaluated. Specific preventive recommendations may also be included. MedTechnologies does not make medical diagnosis.
