OmaMehiläinen in occupational health care
OmaMehiläinen provides occupational health care customers with quick and easy access to services as well as information related to occupational health, all in one place.
OmaMehiläinen provides modern occupational health care services for your company
OmaMehiläinen is a modern and cost-efficient service channel that is an important part of modern occupational health care. OmaMehiläinen makes occupational health care services available to all your employees flexibly, anywhere and anytime. Via OmaMehiläinen, employees can find information about occupational health care services, their own occupational health team and various occupational health documents, such as sick leave certificates and other forms.
The OmaMehiläinen service is free of charge and can be accessed through the app or as an online service. The service is available in Finnish, Swedish and English.
Timely referral to treatment at the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre on an on-call basis
The Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre makes it possible for specialists to be available nationwide on an on-call basis. Occupational health physicians, occupational health nurses and occupational physiotherapists are available at the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. General practitioners and nurses are available 24/7.
The service is based on a service needs assessment carried out with an automated well-being survey that is free of charge for companies. On the basis of the responses to the well-being survey, the employee will be referred to the most suitable occupational health specialist, who will assess the employee's need for treatment. This streamlines and improves access to timely and recommended treatment and increases cost efficiency. If the employee's issue cannot be handled remotely, they will be referred to an in-person appointment.
Easy-to-use remote services that are available anywhere and anytime also increase employee satisfaction with occupational health care services. Using the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre saves time, the environment and travel expenses, and it helps customers avoid having to move around unnecessarily when ill. The service is also always quickly available, which means that treatment can start immediately and any sickness-related absences can be shortened.
Easy-to-use multi-channel services free up resources for the management of work ability
The goal of the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre is to direct customers to the most suitable specialist, reducing unnecessary appointments with an occupational health physician that can often also be more expensive for companies. For example, in the case of back pain, the matter is referred to an occupational physiotherapist.
Once you start using the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre, the availability of services will improve and the designated occupational health team of your company will have more time for supporting demanding work ability customers and the management of work ability. In matters related to work ability or longer absences, our multidisciplinary team of occupational health specialists will assess the employee’s situation and, if necessary, arrange the most suitable further treatment path for the employee. Further treatment and follow-up in work ability challenges (such as repeated/prolonged absences), and, for example, suspected occupational diseases are directed from the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre to a designated occupational health team at a physical clinic after initial guidance and analysis.
The common operating models agreed on with the customer also apply at the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre. The policy of allowing absences with the supervisor’s permission that is used at many organisations for short-term sickness-related absences can be included in the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre. In this case, when an employee opens the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre in OmaMehiläinen, a notification window will open and inform them of the employer’s policy regarding short-term sickness-related absences. This allows the employee to assess whether reporting their situation to their supervisor is sufficient or whether they need help from the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre.
