Managing the impact of all lost time is a recognized key practice of a highly effective HPM strategy. Disability management of non-occupational and occupational absences is often one of the first HPM practices to be implemented in a comprehensive HPM strategy. Disability management provides a demonstrable ROI within a short period of time and its proven value is a point of emphasis by which to gain support for other HPM initiatives.

Medgate is the global leader in occupational health and safety software and is used by many Fortune companies as an HPM tool. The Medgate Case Management (CM) module provides a complete information management system for management of occupational and non-occupational (disability) cases. Corporate Health Management Solutions has partnered with Medgate to develop cross-functionality in data management and analysis. The Health@Work AMT module links directly with Medgate's CM module for easy case creation and management.
