IMPACT: Transitional Return to Work

IMPACT can design a progressive or transitional return to work program to assist employers in reducing lost workdays.

Employer benefits:

• Maximum utilization of human resources
• Lower worker’s comp experience modifiers
• Decreased TTD and permanency
• Decreased cost of off-site rehabilitation
• Increased monitoring of employee

Employee benefits:

• Faster healing time and symptom reduction
• Decreased potential of attorney representation
• Decreased potential of de-conditioning
• Improved morale/decreased disability mindset

Transitional return to work program component:

• Job analysis
• Abatement planning
• Program implementation
• Program evaluation

IMPACT will interface with all members of the return to work team; employer, physician, insurance claims representative, and case manager until return to work at full duty is achieved or plateau is reached. Restrictions would gradually be lifted by way of periodic fitness for duty evaluations.
