Epidemiology
Sometimes workplace environmental risk can be hard to measure and harder yet to understand. Fear and misperception can ruin employee management relationships where no risk may exist. Careful industrial hygiene measurements that references current science may not be enough to assuage concerned parties. When a company wishes to understand whether risk is real or not - as in the case of a cancer cluster or other out break of illness within a community – it may be necessary for them to conduct their own scientific investigations. Epidemiology is the study of disease patterns in communities. Medlantic can create the appropriate Epidemiologic Study that can answer questions regarding risk for any concerned party be it community members, employees or their legal representatives.

Medlantic can also provide the necessary Risk Communication to management and their employees for exposure issues of concern.

We have spoken about cancer risks to large groups from communities and their local press agencies. We provide examples of absolute and relative risk so that your concerned workers, community members or news agency have appropriate measures for risks. Medlantic physicians and nurses are experienced in conducting risk communication to employees, managers, community groups and the media. We can help answer difficult question regarding exposure risk in everyday terms that all can understand.

Travel Medicine
Going global? Many companies, even small companies, may require their employees to travel to foreign countries. Special health concerns like infectious disease may require that those employees receive vaccines. At the very least, all employees experience jet lag, and mild illness while traveling abroad. But even a minor illness can ruin a business trip with all its attendant expense and lost business opportunities. Medlantic has a comprehensive Foreign Travel Program that provides telephonic travel counseling, and travel kits with the necessary medications including prescription antibiotics appropriate for the destination of travel. Medlantic can also provide on-demand, on-site, travel vaccinations for your busy executives who don’t have the time to go to their physician.
Our nurses will visit your site to give travel vaccines whenever and wherever necessary. Just give us a call! Our physicians can also provide necessary sleep medications so that your employees get over their jet lag quickly to be alert when working on overseas assignments.

Wellness
All companies and employees are struggling with the high costs of health care. Obesity is now an epidemic in the United States and its effect on company’s’ healthcare spending will be felt for decades to come. Preventative medicine should be the order of the day but most companies do not have the expertise to offer their employees advice on how to stay well and prevent disabling, costly illnesses. Medlantic has designed many successful Wellness Programs for companies such as weight loss, smoking cessation, blood pressure and cholesterol screening. Our physicians and nurses can speak to your employees and perform the necessary screening on-site. Let us share with you those successes and see if we can develop a similar program tailor made for your work site and employees.

Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how employees physically interact with the workplace. Sometimes even simple activities, like typing on a computer, can cause disabling injuries, painful to your employees and costly to you because of increased medical benefits and workers compensation costs. Medlantic nurses and physicians are trained to perform workstation reviews for potential ergonomic problems. They can develop Ergonomic Programs for your company and your employees to fix problems before they occur.
