Presentation # 1
Top Reasons why Musculoskeletal care should be a Priority for Labor Funds
Presented by:
Brittany Lowe and Jerry Gallo
Sword Health Inc.
For most labor Funds, prioritizing musculoskeletal (MSK) care over other digital health solutions can drive the biggest benefits for your members and overall savings to the Fund. Given the multitude of vendors, platforms, and solutions available, prioritization can be a daunting task. How should Benefit Administrators go about selecting from among the thousands of digital health tools? What combination of benefit solutions will drive the best outcomes for your population and the biggest cost savings for the Fund? Sword Health will address these issues and our Doctor of Physical Therapy will provide a brief demonstration of our solution.
