Two rehabilitation experts, Moving Minds and IPRS are joining together to offer programmes for improving the treatment provided to victims of accidents and ill health, in a move that should also help lower the costs of claims for health and accident insurers.
Moving Minds, which specialises in psychological rehabilitation, and IPRS, which focuses on musculoskeletal injury management, are partnering to fill a need for a service that recognises that psychological needs also have to be met, and that ignoring them can delay recovery for the patient and add to the cost of claims.
The two companies have stated they will provide “a comprehensive and seamless 360 degree assessment and treatment service for patients, ensuring an individual?s needs are met in the best possible way through evidence-based interventions”, primarily through addressing the relationship between mental and physical health issues .
David Bingham, who is group chief executive for IPRS, said “Working closely with Moving Minds, we are now able to offer clients advice from a unified source.”
He went on to say “Further assistance in managing insurance cases can also be given to claims handlers and employers, thus easing their workload, and referrers will be made aware much earlier in the rehabilitation process of how successful the ongoing treatment is likely to be.”
