Paradigm Introduces COVID-19 Clinical Management Program

Thursday, April 16, 2020 | 0

Paradigm, a provider of catastrophic medical management services, announced a new solution designed to assist injured workers requiring medical care and support for recovery from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

Paradigm’s new solution assists injured workers who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 as a primary diagnosis, as well as injured workers who have a catastrophic or complex injury compounded by a COVID-19 diagnosis. Paradigm care management teams can support COVID-19 patients through diagnosis and recovery, regardless of severity, by using clinical resources that span its Catastrophic Care Management and Complex Care Solutions divisions.

Paradigm will rely on its proprietary clinical data assets and proprietary case management system to create and execute recovery plans. This case management system addresses patient needs from head to toe, including respiratory, infectious disease, neurological and behavioral categories aligned for efficient outcomes management.

Paradigm aims to reduce the duration of functional disability associated with COVID-19 complications, acute respiratory distress syndrome, post-intensive care syndrome and associated post-traumatic stress disorder. The solution also aims to reduce post-discharge medical volatility associated with the COVID-19 recovery period.

Paradigm said medical directors with specialty expertise in infectious disease, pulmonary, cardiology, critical care, neuro-rehabilitation, physical medicine and behavioral health will guide care plans and consult with treating providers. Nurse case managers with critical care and ICU experience will oversee and support recovery plans.

Paradigm has also developed a proprietary COVID-19 training and education program for its clinical team.

A new partnership with behavioral health service provider AiRCare Health will provide community support specialists to work with patients and family members to address behavioral health concerns.
