industry

Paradigm's exceptionally focused care for catastrophically injured construction workers spans 30 years.

Our solutions

Paradigm has highly specialized industry-specific solutions, backed by decades of claims data and deep clinical expertise, for catastrophically injured construction workers:

Pre-vocational services to establish early return-to-work (RTW) goals

Enhanced risk screening for pre-existing or post-injury substance abuse

Education around wearable health technology

Healthy habit programs, such as support for smoking cessation

Bilingual staff and translation services to assure seamless patient/family communication

Biopsychosocial model to address obstacles that often interfere with recovery

Robust vocational assessment/rehabilitation to facilitate transitional work assignments, job skill development, and transferable skills identification

Outcomes built on decades of data

25% of our catastrophic workers’ compensation claims arise out of infrastructure, construction operations, and skilled trades. These claims commonly stem from falls from heights, often resulting in multiple traumas, including orthopedic and organ trauma, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. When catastrophic injuries occur, they have extremely high costs, often in the millions of dollars, and a devastating impact on people’s lives. Paradigm understands the obstacles to care for catastrophic construction accidents:

An increased percentage of tobacco, alcohol, and substance abuse

A higher incidence of musculoskeletal injuries, leading to chronic pain and over-utilization of opioids

Communication barriers and the need for translation services

Challenging RTW processes, compounded if permanent limitations exist
