Company Nurse, Aclaimant Integrate to Provide Brady Risk Management Clients With Workplace Injury Management

Company Nurse LLC, a nurse triage service for workplace injuries, and Aclaimant, a real-time incident reporting and workplace safety tool, have integrated to provide the clients of Brady Risk Management, a financial risk management firm specializing in the restaurant and hospitality industries and municipalities, with a complete workplace injury management solution.

When an employee sustains a workplace injury, he or she calls Company Nurse’s 24/7 nurse triage contact center for self-care advice and/or to be referred to an approved medical facility. Company Nurse completes a report of injury, detailing the incident, which feeds into the Aclaimant tool. From there, employers can use Aclaimant to track, manage, and follow-up on injuries.
