Happy National Case Management Week! SBO believes Nurse Case Managers are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, ensuring all aspects of the injured workers care are running smoothly for both the patient and provider. We are beyond grateful to work alongside them and value their expertise. Here’s just a few reasons why their work is so important: ✅ Care Coordination: Nurse Case Managers expertly connect patients with the right treatments, specialists, and follow-up care, ensuring no one falls through the cracks. ✅ Communication Hub: They bridge the gap between providers, patients, employers, and insurance adjusters, streamlining communication and avoiding delays. ✅ Guiding Patients: For patients navigating the complexities of Workers’ Compensation, Nurse Case Managers offer essential support, answering questions, and helping them understand the steps in their recovery journey. ✅ Advocating for Care: They ensure patients receive timely and appropriate care, reducing delays in treatments and speeding up recovery times. Thank you to all Nurse Case Managers for your dedication and hard work, keeping the process smooth and ensuring that patients receive the best possible care! 👏💙 #NurseCaseManagement #NationalNurseCaseManagementWeek #Orthopedics #PatientCare #WorkersCompensation #InjuredWorker

South Bend Orthopaedics' team of Sports Medicine physicians continue to demonstrate their excellence in reconstructing ACLs following injury. By focusing on patient-reported outcomes, surgical advancements, and rehabilitation protocols, we're bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and day-to-day clinical practice. For our patients, this means better recovery times and a more individualized approach to care. Our patients can expect significantly reduced pain and improved function following the surgery and tend to score higher than those previously reported elsewhere. For our providers, it means staying at the forefront of care with cutting-edge, evidence-based techniques to enhance patient outcomes. Together, we’re creating a future where injuries are not the end, but a new beginning for our patients. 🏃♂️💪 Just another reason why The University of Notre Dame, has trusted us as their Orthopaedic providers for 75 years! #Orthopaedics #ACLReconstruction #Research #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalOutcome
