​Digital Triage in Corporate Wellness and Private Practice Whitepaper
​
Analysing the results of online self-assessment tools in corporate health and private practices

PhysioMedics and Professor Paul Cameron present the 'Digital Triage in Corporate Wellness and Private Practice' whitepaper to give corporate wellness, HR departments and private practice owners the latest data and information on the benefits that digital health offers these sectors.
​
When employees and patients are able to access care 24/7, appropriate referrals are accelerated and people receive speedy advice to begin treatment quickly.
 
This whitepaper reviews the impact of digital tools on healthcare in these two sectors and provides key insights and recommendations for corporate wellness and private practices.
​
Key Findings From the Whitepaper
  • Twenty two percent had a history of depression, stress and anxiety - this is a risk factor relating to long term work absenteeism and chronic symptoms (affecting 23% of the group).
  • 70% of those who registered completed the online assessment (the analysed group) and received a report with advice about their condition.
  • Fourteen percent had clinically important findings requiring further, often urgent, investigation.
  • Less than 5% were recommended to A&E (1%) or NHS111(<4%) for further advice.
For Corporate Use:
  • Twenty-five percent of participants said that their pain episode was linked, or occurred, in their workplace.
  • Sixty two percent complained of having had their episode for longer than 3 months.
  • The PhysioWizard® tool offers a useful insight into injury patterns that may influence occupational health and wellbeing programmes.
  • Ten percent had symptoms which indicated that self-management was optimal.
For Private Practice Use:
  • An overwhelming 95% stated a preference for using the PhysioWizard® tool prior to speaking to their own GP.
  • 100% of clinicians said the report had better prepared them for their patient prior to the consultation. 
  • 63% of the clinicians felt the report generated by PhysioWizard® reduced the length of their assessment.
  • Around 85% of patients believed the results of the assessment were useful in helping towards recovery.
