Obesity: a Growing Problem in Workers' Compensation- by Kevin Glennon, RN, BSN, CDMS, QRP |
 The rise of obesity to epidemic proportions is bringing exceptional challenges not only to society in general, but also specifically to injured workers, the workers' compensation adjuster, and the nurse case manager.
There are a multitude of co-morbidities associated with the bariatric individual, including diabetes, heart disease, pulmonary complications, gallbladder disease, joint disease, vascular insufficiencies, and the increased risk of renal and liver disease associated with long-term medication management. The estimated annual cost of overweight and obesity in the United States is $112.9 billion. This estimate accounts for $64.1 billion in direct costs and $58.8 billion in indirect costs related to the obesity epidemic. Direct health-care costs for obesity refer to preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services for obesity-related diseases and conditions.

Live Well - Do Good - Go GREEN 
Maximize Computer Efficiency
Did you know computers in the business sector unnecessarily waste $ 1 billion worth of electricity a year? |
| Make it a habit to turn off your computer -and the power strip it's plugged into- when you leave for the day. Otherwise, you are still burning energy even if you are not burning the midgnight oil (check with your IT department to make sure the computer does not need to be on to run backups or other maintenance).
During the day, setting your computer to go to sleep automatically during short breaks can cut energy use by 70 percent. Remember, screen savers don't save energy.
Invest in energy-saving computers, monitors, and printers and make sure that old equipment is properly recycled. For information on how to recycle your computer go to www.computertakeback.com. |
