The great majority of Australian doctors are conscientious medical professionals committed to the wellbeing of their patients. There’s an explosion of scientific knowledge being published, which makes it difficult for general practitioners to stay current on the latest best medical practices. In fact, for a family doctor to stay up to date, they’d need to read 17 articles a day, 365 days a year. This is an impossible task, but evidence-based medicine offers clinicians a way to stay current with best practices through the use of standardized, evidence-based protocols. Employer Work Solutions works alongside general practitioners and medical specialists who are committed to show transparency in decision making, accountability, and value (e.g., high quality and safe care at the lowest possible cost).

The treating practitioners and medical specialists we have selected are at the forefront of Evidence Based Medicine and are committed to transparency of reasoning and happy to justify treatment decisions made on the basis of valid information that can stand up to medico-legal scrutiny.
 

 
Whilst Employer Work Solutions recognizes and acknowledge the injured worker’s right to choose their own treating practitioners, as the employers’ representatives we reserve the right to provide the best available medical guidance based on the above principles and refer to our network practitioners at least once in the life of the claim; preferably as soon as possible within the first week of the injury, unless the worker is in hospital or not accessible for various reasons.
