Supporting the Front Lines: Fractional Workers’ Comp Strategy for Healthcare Providers

At Asch Workers’ Comp Strategy, we understand that healthcare providers operate under intense pressure—balancing patient care, compliance obligations, workforce shortages, and operational costs. Whether you're managing a hospital system, skilled nursing facility, or home health aide agency, workers' compensation exposure is a critical concern that can quickly escalate if not proactively managed.

That’s where we come in.

With over 30 years of experience in New York workers’ compensation law and claim strategy, we offer fractional services designed to support your internal teams—on your terms and at your scale. We don’t replace your staff. We enhance your capacity with specialized, strategic insight to reduce claims costs, ensure compliance, and maintain continuity of care.

We Understand the Healthcare Industry’s Unique Risks

Healthcare organizations face a high frequency of injury claims—from repetitive strain and slip-and-falls to violent incidents and infectious disease exposure. Staffing shortages and regulatory demands can make it difficult to dedicate the time and attention each claim deserves.

We’ve worked with:

• Hospitals grappling with rising claims among nurses and orderlies
• Nursing homes balancing high-acuity patients with a stretched workforce
• Home health agencies managing remote aides across multiple locations with limited supervision

Our approach addresses the root causes of claim escalation and ensures every claim receives early and thorough attention.

How Our Fractional Services Help

Our fractional model means you get as-needed access to seasoned expertise—without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

We offer:

• Early claim intervention and triage to reduce unnecessary treatment delays and litigation
• Customized reporting protocols that ensure incident documentation meets both legal and operational standards
• OSHA compliance review and risk mitigation support
• Nurse case management coordination to ensure timely care and return-to-work planning
• Claim audits and litigation oversight to control exposure and identify patterns before they become systemic
• Training for supervisors and HR staff to improve workplace communication, documentation, and injury response

We adapt to the systems and protocols you already have in place—offering discreet, informed support that makes your teams stronger.

We can assist you in creating or enhancing standardized, easy-to-use incident reporting templates for supervisors and trained floor managers on how to document injury details in real-time, even during busy shifts. We can help develop a tracking system to flag repeat incidents and potential fraud indicators.
