RETURN TO HEALTH, RETURN TO WORK: A FOCUSED APPROACH TO DISABILITY MANAGEMENT

When it comes to employee health and wellbeing, the goal is connecting people to the right level of care at the right time while helping them quickly recover and achieve the best possible health outcomes. This presentation will offer a focused approach to disability management, including ways for employers to create inclusive and cohesive disability management programs underlined by trust and sustainability.

Speaker: Olivier Pagé, Director, Group Disability Management Operations, Medavie Blue Cross

HEALTH NAVIGATION & RISK MANAGEMENT: IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE EAP?

EAPs have changed very little over the last 70 years. But everything else has. The world. Your company. Your employees. And that’s why half a million Canadians still miss work each week because of mental health issues. Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate the strategy? The ability to address both mental and physical issues in a connected, holistic way whether an employee is post-offer, at work or absent from work is what will ultimately reduce the organizational health risk that an EAP has never been able to tackle. Layering in prevention and early intervention programs with highly skilled navigation throughout the employee journey will unlock the outcomes and return on investment that these programs were originally designed for but have historically never been able to achieve. 

Speaker: Karen Adams, CEO, CloudMD

PHARMACOGENOMICS, AN UNDERUTILIZED GAME CHANGER FOR MENTAL ILLNESS!

Pharmacogenomics is producing exceptional results in the treatment of mental illness, both as a benefit within health plans and as a tool in disability management. Sadly, only a few organizations are utilizing it. We will discuss the reasons for the underutilization.

Speaker: Mark Faiz, CEO, Personalized Prescribing Inc.

Following the speaker sessions, we will have a panel discussion with the presenters addressing live audience questions.
