Care Coordination

Sarasota – October 07, 2026 -- 360 Orthopedics has become one of the first orthopedic practices in Florida to receive the Center of Excellence (COE) designation for workers' compensation care, a credential tied to measurable standards in access, documentation and return-to-work coordination.

Designation targets delays that drive up claim costs for employers and carriers

The COE evaluation assesses five operational areas: timely orthopedic evaluation and treatment, accurate medical documentation, communication among patients, employers, adjusters and nurse case managers, coordination of authorizations and follow-up care, and structured return-to-work planning. For employers and insurers, process delays in any of these areas can extend time away from work and increase claim complexity and cost.
