Peter Sutton Appointed to Business Development Role at Hamilton Hospitals Assessment Centre

Hamilton Hospitals Assessment Centre (“HHAC”), one of Ontario’s leading, hospital-based providers of independent medical evaluation services, has announced that Peter Sutton has been appointed to lead its business development and quality control initiatives.  In this role he will be responsible for expanding and strengthening relationships between insurance company personnel and the HHAC team of medical evaluation professionals. 

HHAC manager Christine Pook said, “Peter brings a unique combination of expertise and understanding to this role.  He is widely recognized within the auto insurance sector for his expertise as an accident benefit and bodily injury claims adjuster and for the services he provided as part of a team that successfully built and operated an IME business.  Peter’s link with that business ended two years ago when he sold his share.”

According to Pook, “the industry-wide slow-down in IME referrals since the introduction of new legislation in 2010 has not diminished HHAC’s focus on expanding its share of the entire Ontario independent medical evaluation market.  Our goal has been and remains the delivery of defensible, high-quality medical evaluation services and standards of reporting province-wide.  We work with an impressive roster of credentialed clinicians and we have achieved one of the lowest no-show levels in our industry.”
