A major health system partnered with ATI Worksite Solutions to lower MSK costs, improve access to physical therapy, and enhance workforce health outcomes.
Like many employers, Prisma Health struggled with rising musculoskeletal (MSK) claim costs, unnecessary imaging, delayed treatment, and complex care pathways. Employees often didn’t know where to turn for help, while HR teams had limited insight into what was effective. The organization needed a simpler, faster way to connect employees to care early, before injuries escalated into costly procedures or prolonged time away from work.
ATI Direct created a single digital entry point for MSK care. Employees received fast triage and PT-first treatment, helping many avoid imaging, surgeries, and high-cost interventions while improving recovery and tracking outcomes.
With ATI Direct in place, employees had clear access to care without confusion or delays. Early physical therapy interventions helped reduce unnecessary imaging, injections, and specialist referrals. Employers benefited from fewer claims, faster recovery times, and lower time off work. HR and benefits teams gained transparency into outcomes, cost savings, and program effectiveness, making MSK care both more efficient and employee-focused. This collaborative model helped create a healthier, more productive workforce across the organization.
