Collaboration
We're in this together!

 

 

According to Wikipedia, Collaboration is "working with each other to do a task and to achieve shared goals. It is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals - for example, an endeavor that is creative in nature by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus".

 

As is often the case, a home modification design that I recently presented to the carrier changed during the course of our collaborative conference call. As is also often the case, the result was a more appropriate modification design focused on the injured workers specific needs and desired outcomes. Although we provide specific expertise in our home modification field, the adjuster, case manager and medical personnel assigned to the claim each bring an additional layer of skill and knowledge that is uniquely different from our own. Without having accurate knowledge of specific rehabilitation progress, functional status or medical needs, a home modification design is very generic. However, when that information is shared and the collective resources participate in the modification design process, the results are customized to an individual's needs and usually on target. Collaboration isn't always easy and varying opinions can also be conflicting. But as Thomas Stallkamp stated, "The secret is to gang up on the problem, rather than each other".

 

Over the past several weeks, we celebrated National Nurses Week and Occupational Therapy Month. Both are designed to bring awareness and recognition to the two disciplines and their impact on healthcare and the lives of so many people. While we take the opportunity to recognize these two disciplines individually, let's celebrate the collective resources of all the disciplines working in synergy to provide services to injured workers.

 

At the David Corey Company, we embrace the collaborative process and appreciate the collective resources provided by our partners and clients.
