OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE
THE SOLVE SOLUTION
The Solveglobal System delivers strategic services and solutions for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that are scalable and sustainable. It delivers value driven results that are proven and trusted in both group health and worker's compensation. Innovative, strategic joint venture arrangements leverage risk sharing, control and accountability for meaningful return on investment.
This is made possible by the efficient integration of highly trained local MSD clinical specialists, and an international network of world-class experts who together are leveraged by cloud technology and relevant real-time data. Customized services are accessible onsite, offsite and online to accommodate blue, gray, and white collar workers at all levels within an organization, whether centralized, distributed, or mobile.
Results are driven by strategic resource deployment and value creation rather than the denial of care, resources and reality. Benefit is evidenced by improved morale, attendance, productivity, and quality together with improved risk, resource utilization, and financial performance. People are more comfortable, capable, and confident. Job security and competitive advantage is enhanced.
SITUATION
Strategic reality-check... MSDs are the highest health cost category -
75% more than heart disease, 75% more than cancer affecting more people than both combined.
MSDs are the leading cause of disability and impairment globally.
54% of adults report recurrent or chronic MSD conditions and a third of the population experience MSD
related problem daily.
MSDs drive workers compensation and group health expense while affecting both employees and their dependents. So doesn't it just make sense to strategically prioritize MSDs to optimize achievable savings for most companies?
The average age of the workforce continues to increase and will do so for the next decade and beyond. The number of workers age 55+ is growing at a rate 3x that of the overall workforce. The costs of MSDs double for workers over age 45.
Most primary care providers have little or no training in MSD management beyond prescribing medications to treat symptoms, ordering expensive and too often unnecessary tests, and referring to orthopedic surgeons when only 10% of the exams are actually surgical. The problem is compounding by a projected shortage of 20,000 - 30,000 primary care physicians by 2025. Some 78% of Occupational Medicine physicians are nearing retirement.
Ineffective treatment is the standard of care nationally for MSDs with related opioid addiction an emergent crisis.
The number of self-insured companies continues to grow - 82% of companies with 500+ employees and 26% with 100-499 are self-insured (2015). The self-insured benefit produces an average 12% savings on insurance costs plus less regulatory burden with more transparency and accountability. While greater risk assumption potentially offers greater reward, there is no reward without better control.
Government regulations, insurance policy, and health system inefficiencies increase health cost, limit care, and erode provider effectiveness and efficiency. Just 1 of every 10 dollars spent by health systems actually provides treatment. "Health systems" are part of the problem not the solution. They are mired in tradition, incentivized by the status quo, and don't understand the needs of employers or the workplace. In fact, health systems generally have very unfavorable MSD statistics themselves.
The Solveglobal System is different. It offers insight, control, and scalability not found elsewhere. Solve provides innovative strategies, specialized expertise, years of experience and unique cloud based systems to deliver MSD prevention, intervention and resolution.
At the heart of the Solveglobal system is the fully-automated, HIPAA compliant Solveglobal Check-In. It is delivered monthly to employees via computer or mobile device - it takes just one minute to complete. Solveglobal's proprietary algorithms calculate and track an accurate MSD Risk Score by person, position, department, and shift.
This allows specific resources to be targeted efficiently to precisely where they can create the most value. Individualized MSD causal factors are identified and resolved using movement first strategies that fix problems rather than just treat symptoms or perform expensive medical tests unnecessarily.
Solveglobal focuses on risk, because risk is where the reward is. Traditional MSD models are reactive, medically focused and wasteful. Solveglobal is proactive, movement biased and resourceful. Solveglobal uses real-time strategic data to pinpoint and prioritize risk, targeting resources toward the greatest reward opportunities.
Solveglobal represents a distinctively different and disruptive proprietary innovation like no other. Our proven capacity for scalable and sustainable savings in both workers compensation and group health is uncommon. We do not aspire to be just one-more-company competing in the safety / health / ergonomics arena of compliance and consulting. We are game changers. Our core expertise and systems drastically reduce MSD costs, enhance competitive advantage, and increase business valuation. Our services cost employers nothing - we pay our own way while creating generous dividends for our clients.
Solveglobal gets results that save money, time, talent and jobs. Solveglobal pays for its self plus rewards smart employers with a meaningful return on investment. Expect better. Get better.
