Bardavon Launches Online Physical Medicine Portal Benefiting Claims Adjusters and Nurse Case Managers
Link is a one-stop online destination that gives Adjusters and NCMs 24/7 access to the information they need, when they need it.
Key features of Link include:
At-a-glance case summaries including actual visit counts, estimated case duration, and authorized visits remaining
Snapshot views of patient case status such as current risk level, no-shows, care gaps, and reauthorization needs
Easy access to view and download all case notes, updated nightly and viewable in-line with the patient record
Comprehensive case details including appointments, attendance, predictive analytics, and open items requiring action
Quality oversight includes clinical team case interventions for treating therapist and alerts to stakeholders regarding case progression
All information is refreshed nightly to ensure timely and accurate updates.
With Link, Bardavon takes information that was previously provided to Adjusters and NCMs incrementally via e-mail or fax and now presents it in an easily digestible and meaningful manner to generate actionable insights. Link is built on the same platform that Bardavon's clinical oversight team uses every day, effectively providing Adjusters and NCMs the same 360 degree case management view as Bardavon's clinical oversight staff.
'We're excited to roll out the Link online portal as part of our commitment to building tools and workflow guides focused on supporting Adjusters and Nurse Case Managers, with the hope of supercharging their workflow,' said Jen Henry, VP of Clinical Operations and Services at Bardavon. 'Link empowers our partners to proactively manage cases, access critical insights, and take timely action to keep care on track. Most importantly, it allows them to manage cases on their time, with the certainty of complete and consolidated case information.'
Why Link?
The name reflects the portal's core purpose: linking stakeholders to timely, relevant information, in turn fostering stronger collaboration, better communication, and accelerated case progression.
Over time, Link will evolve to include additional features such as one-click access to submit new referrals and re-authorizations, visibility to the status of new referrals, and more. Built on the same platform as Bardavon's clinical coaching portal, Link pulls from the same prioritized clinical and administrative data set, providing Adjusters and NCMs the information they need, accessible when they want it.
Bardavon recognizes that every adjuster and case manager works differently—which is why Link will never be mandatory. We pride ourselves on listening to our clients and making sure communication and reporting preferences can be tailored at the individual user level, whether that means using Link or continuing to receive notes and case-level details via email or fax. And just like other Bardavon program enhancements, such as Recovery+, there is no charge or fee associated with Link.
"Ultimately, we see the release of Link as a natural extension of our commitment to developing tools that make the jobs of Nurse Case Managers and Adjusters easier, better, and more straight-forward,' said Sarah Meyer, Chief Operating Officer at Bardavon. 'Our focus is on meeting each end user where they are—adapting to their preferred workflow and timing, so they can work in the way that suits them best."

Nurse-to-Patient Ratios Save Lives and Reduce Staff Burnout, Says New Academic Study
OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new academic study says mandating nurse-to-patient ratios would save lives, improve overall outcomes for patients, and alleviate the staffing crisis in Ontario's hospitals. Based on an extensive review of existing research on staffing levels in hospitals, in-depth interviews with many Ontario hospital nurses, and an examination of mandated nursing staffing standards in places like California, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Australia, the researchers recommend Ontario's hospitals adopt a similar policy to ensure safe staffing levels at all times. 'The evidence shows that nurse-patient ratios save lives,' said Dr. Jim Brophy, co-author of the study and a researcher affiliated with the University of Windsor. 'Assigning nurses a manageable workload ensures patients receive appropriate care, which in a high-stakes hospital environment can mean the difference between life and death.' Dr. Brophy said the evidence was overwhelming on the issue, with one study showing a seven per cent rise in death rates for every additional patient assigned to a nurse. He said another study from the U.K. showed that hospitals with the worst nurse staffing levels had 26 per cent higher death rates. Conversely, death rates declined in California's hospitals after nursing ratios came into effect in 2004. Nurse-patient ratios are generally associated with a positive impact on patient care, he said, being associated with 'lower levels of medical errors, decreased risk of infections, and lower readmission rates.' Dr. Margaret Keith, co-author of the study, said mandating nurse-patient ratios would address Ontario's nursing shortage. Between 2022 and 2024, nurse vacancy rates in the province shot up by 43 per cent. 'Ratios equate to safe staffing levels for nurses,' she said. 'Mandated ratios reduce injury rates and burnout, reduce the moral distress of not being able to provide optimum care, and thereby improve staff satisfaction and morale. Addressing these factors would tremendously improve the retention and recruitment problem in Ontario's hospitals.' Based on August 2025 data from The College of Nurses of Ontario, there are 16,437 licensed but non-practicing nurses in the province. Keith said Ontario would do well to emulate the Australian province of Victoria, where mandated staffing ratios resulted in a 24 per cent increase in the nursing workforce with more than 7,000 inactive nurses resuming practice. 'It's an incredible story that shows it is possible to fix the health care staffing crisis,' she said. 'We know that attrition rates are very high in Ontario, and this solution could help stem the bleeding.' Recently, other provincial governments in Canada have taken initiative on minimum nurse staffing levels with employers in British Columbia and Nova Scotia obligated to adhere to newly enforced standards. In Manitoba, the government, employers, and the unions have signed a letter of intent to study the matter. Rachel Fleming, a registered practical nurse and member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees' (CUPE) Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU-CUPE), says inadequate staffing ratios are taking a devastating toll — not only on patient care but also on the emotional well-being of nurses. 'Every day, we're being forced to make choices that go against everything we believe as caregivers,' said Fleming. 'When you can't give medication on time, when a patient goes without a bath or the comfort of someone simply listening to them, when you can't even answer a call bell because you're torn between other patients in desperate need—it breaks your spirit. I know so many incredible nurses who walked away not because they stopped caring, but because the pain of not being able to care properly became unbearable.' According to the authors of the report, nursing ratios also have the potential to save costs by decreasing reliance on private agency staff, reducing avoidable readmissions, as well as workplace injuries and illnesses. In California, workplace injuries reduced by 32 per cent after the introduction of nursing ratios while hospitals in Pennsylvania with lower staff burnout rates had 6,200 fewer infections for annual cost-savings of up to $68 million. OCHU-CUPE will be proposing nurse-patient ratios for 50,000 hospital workers in central bargaining with the Ontario Hospital Association next month. However, the union is wary of the hospitals' opposition to the idea. 'Hospital management in the past rejected nurse-patient ratios, despite evidence that these ratios save lives and improve health outcomes for patients, because they restrict their ability to understaff – a reality forced on them by Ontario's chronic underfunding of our hospitals,' said Michael Hurley, president of OCHU-CUPE. 'Ratios will bring thousands of nurses who have left the profession in despair back to work. Adopting ratios in bargaining will push the provincial government to fund and staff its hospitals properly. For patients and for nurses, it is time for this fundamental change.' Last year, the Ontario PC MPPs voted against an NDP bill to legislate nurse-to-patient ratios in hospitals. The bill was reintroduced by the NDP in May 2025 but has yet to be debated. :gv/cope491
