Plano, TX // March 2, 2026 — Injury Management Organization (IMO) is pleased to announce the significant expansion of E-Intelemed 24/7, its early injury triage platform that provides immediate clinical guidance and care direction to injured workers—anytime, anywhere. With enhanced capabilities, E-Intelemed 24/7 now delivers one of the most comprehensive and responsive nurse-led triage programs available in today’s workers’ compensation landscape. The Early Intervention with a triage nurse that collaborates with the telemedicine model provides a human relations benefit with the medical care access connection, 24/7.

The E-Intelemed 24/7 service connects employees and supervisors with highly experienced Registered Nurses around the clock, ensuring that every workplace injury—no matter how routine or complex—receives rapid assessment and clinically sound recommendations. This early intervention model reduces unnecessary emergency room visits, accelerates return-to-work timelines, and lowers overall claim severity and cost. This is a national service, and the continuity of care and outcomes promotes effective attention at the onset with cost-effective outcomes.
