OCTOBER 2016 • NEW PROGRAM • SOFT TISSUE INJURY PROFILE (STIP™)
STIP™ provides physicians, patients, employers, Third Party Administrators (TPAs) insurance companies, and patient care management professionals the ability to obtain objective, clinically-useful data regarding soft tissue injuries. STIP manages this through a full suite of proprietary technologies designed to augment medical providers’ clinical expertise.
Designed by physicians for physicians, STIP radically improves clinicians’ ability to identify and properly treat soft tissue injuries. In addition to augmenting treating providers’ clinical expertise, STIP when integrated into the care, claims, and leave management delivery processes can also impact inherent friction often associated with:
· Physician Review and Referral(s)
· Payor Authorization
· The Patient Experience
· Outcome Determinations
The Technology
· STIP is a proprietary assessment tool affording objective evidence based data gathered from the interaction of muscles and nerves while the patient is in motion.
· STIP complements static tests such as MRIs, CT scans, and X-Rays
· STIP electronic reports comply with HIPAA and state specific confidentiality guidelines and are reviewed and signed by board certified physicians.
STIP Assessment Features
· Non-invasive and non-loading
· Scientific and evidence based
· Proprietary hardware allows for active assessment
· Data cannot be manipulated by the patient, technician/provider administering the test
Benefits to Treating Providers
· Access to previously unavailable objective data to augment treating providers clinical expertise.
· Data utilized in combination with physical examination to address injured workers subjective complaint.
· Improved medical outcomes
· Reduces inherent system friction – provides meaningful data to confirm diagnoses
