Jersey City, NJ, November 11, 2019. – Future Care’s CEO Christina DeSimone recently presented as a keynote speaker at the Fort Lauderdale Marine Club (FLMC) Seminar on October 29th Fort Lauderdale, Florida, hosted by Fort Lauderdale Mariners Club. Ms. DeSimone was on the Panel addressing “Knowledge after the injury: Oh my aching back!”
Ms. DeSimone focused on the discussions of how the early intervention of an experienced medical case manager reduces the chances of a medical issue or injury escalating above the actual value of the crew medical claim and escalating into litigation.
“Our team works together to assist the ship’s captains with our telemedical service, Physician Advice at Seaand with crew logistics coordination to medical facilities ashore”. Ms. DeSimone added, “We have developed vetted medical providers globally to ensure the highest level of care available in the port can be provided.”
Besides an explanation of Future Care’s early intervention protocols together with medical case management of land-based treatment through to a return to FFD/MMI, Ms. DeSimone also recommended a few medical strategies to shipowners, shipmanagers, captains, insurers and maritime attorneys.
