Thought Leadership & Innovation Foundation (TLI), a
not-for-profit organization that works at the nexus of science,
technology and public health, today announces that the California
State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund) will be donating
$10,000 to support the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry
(LLPR™).
“This generous donation from State Fund is a testament to the
growing recognition of the critical role LLPR plays in advancing
care, enhancing quality of life and improving outcomes for
individuals with limb loss and limb difference,” says Shawn Murphy,
vice president, TLI, and acting interim executive director, LLPR.
“With State Fund's support, we can continue our mission and augment
the capabilities of healthcare providers.”
Dinesh Govindarao, MD, MPH, chief medical officer, and Alma Del
Real, medical management director, both at State Fund, believe the
LLPR holds significant promise for the workers’ compensation arena.
They regard the LLPR as a vital tool for identifying centers of
excellence that help patients return to the workforce, whether in
their previous roles or new capacities, post-treatment.
“There is more work to be done,” states Govindarao. “We are
committed to collaborating with LLPR to address crucial questions
for California workers. This includes identifying barriers to
prosthesis access, understanding comorbidity variations between
vascular patients and those with limb loss and pinpointing patients
or hospitals with the best outcomes.”
With this donation, State Fund and LLPR will focus on key areas
to enhance patient care and outcomes:
- Identifying barriers that prevent patients from obtaining
prostheses.
- Analyzing comorbidity differences between vascular patients and
those with amputations or limb loss.
- Recognizing patients or hospitals where amputations are more
likely to lead to revisions.
- Detecting patients or hospitals where procedures have a higher
risk of resulting in infections.
State Fund was introduced to LLPR by Michael Choo, MD, CMO,
Paradigm Corp., who formerly served on LLPR’s External
Collaborative Panel during its National Institute of Child Health
and Human Development (NICHD) contract period. Dr. Choo now serves
on the Quality Improvement & Leadership Council within TLI.
