The Organizational Impact of True Partnerships
Background: Like many organizations, Oceanside Unified School District(OUSD) struggled to control lost work days without the benefit of a true partnership with a dedicated occupational medicine specialty practice that understood how decisions impact employers.
In 2015, OUSD leadership partnered with WorkPartners as its exclusive occupational provider to drive better outcomes and better service for both the district and its employees.
Results: Through a collaborative approach emphasizing communication that clearly aligned the philosophies of WorkPartners, OUSD, and Keenan & Associates, we have been able to collectively achieve impactful results year over year. In the first year of our partnership, Temporary Total Disability(TTD) days were reduced from 18,563 days to 11,640 days, which amounted to a 38% reduction. In the most recent fully adjudicated school year 2018/2019, the partnership was able to reduce TTD days to 2296, an 88% reduction since switching to WorkPartners.
Since the inception of the partnership, the claims severity cost has been reduced by 57% from $3,685,572 to $1,614,857.
