Services

For nearly 30 years, Bridges Health has been a trusted partner in enhancing organizational health. We go beyond traditional disability case management services by offering comprehensive, tailored solutions that empower organizations to optimize their programs and better support their workforce.

Complex occupational case management

Workers’ compensation claims are expensive and have a direct effect on premiums. Bridges Health helps manage complex absence and organize comprehensive return-to-work plans to reduce lost time, identify alternate methods of reintegration or support transferable skills and labour market research to assist with alternate placements.

Ergoworks PDA and RTW Program

ErgoWorks is a software solution used by trained consultants to deliver digital Physical Demands Analysis (PDA’s) and job matching assessments based on employee abilities and job demands. This service creates data-driven decisions and can be used as a stay-at-work strategy or recovery and return-to-work rehabilitation process.

STD and LTD Adjudication

Bridges Health specializes in short-term and long-term adjudication and case management services. Our approach includes early contact with employees and employers, medical management, and close collaboration with healthcare providers to support treatment, monitor progress and develop effective return to work plans. Working with employer’s self-insured absence and disability management program has proven to reduce the number of cases going into long-term disability (LTD).

Return to work

The return-to-work process is a crucial phase following an employee’s absence. Through our return-to-work planning solution, we offer a detailed, personalized strategy to assess ability, organize a recommended reintegration plan, and track progress. We support the employee and employer by monitoring ability changes, job coaching, and follow-up medical support as needed.

Stay at work managed abilities program (MAP)

Bridges Health’s MAP program is a strategic stay-at-work solution to monitor and manage employees that are showing signs of struggle in the workplace. The goal of the program is to prevent employee absence and assist employers with accommodation management, medical monitoring, and negotiating workplace conflicts. MAP program ensures the employer is supporting their employees while they continue to be productive.

Mental Health First Aid

Whether in person or virtual, workplace prevention strategies should include mental health management. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program aims to improve mental health awareness and provide the skills and knowledge to help people better manage potential or developing mental health disorders in themselves, family members, friends, or colleagues.
