An employee is injured on the job and must receive ongoing medical treatment while insurance companies pay workers' compensation and employers await the return of their worker. Angela Cornell, owner of Complete Case Management Inc. in Little Rock, ensures these injured employees receive the proper medical treatment and are physically ready to return to work. Cornell is the patient's advocate, communicating with physicians, insurance agencies and the employer." Everybody wins once you get the patient well or to the point where the patient can do light-duty work," she said. The patient's progress is carefully monitored by Cornell, who reports to all parties involved. Cornell, who has 15 years' experience as an operating room nurse, attends each doctor's appointment with the patient and reviews all medical treatment the patient receives. Cornell will also visit the job site to determine whether the patient can adequately perform the work without further injury. She also addresses concerns about the particular injury, its average healing time and its limitations, while ensuring the patient receives excellent care." I know what questions to ask the therapists and doctors, while [the insurance agencies, patients and employer] may not," Cornell said. CCM also handles medical malpractice injuries and long-term disabilities in the same manner. Before branching out on her own, Cornell worked for four years with a national medical case management company and obtained her case management certification in 2000. Charges for Cornell's services vary, depending on the employers' set standards, but said her prices are "less than national management companies."
