patient for a potential disability would automatically have the predictive and normative return-to-work durations available as part of the patient's electronic medical record. So, instead of dashing off the standard 'two-weeks off' prescription, the physician would have actual guidelines to inform the prescription for time off from work.

An actuary for a large insurance company reviews her case managers' case outcomes versus the integrated MDGuidelines benchmarking data, all of which is available at her fingertips within her on-site database. She identifies ten common disability conditions that have a high psychosocial factor (e.g., fibromyalgia). The disability manager asks her case managers to pay special attention to managing those ten disability types, making sure employees get the support they need to return to full productivity sooner.

"Static disability duration guidelines simply can't provide the cost benefits and employee health benefits that these new integrated and predictive duration tools can," says Seymour. "This predictive durations content should used at every point in the disability process to drive better outcomes, both for employers and their employees."

Reed Group will be at booth #102 at the DMEC conference, July 19-22. Employers and media are invited to stop by for a demonstration of the new MDGuideline
