An initial assessment examines the needs of an injured worker and the workplace requirements in order to develop a rehabilitation plan. The assessment includes the services and treatments recommended to assist the worker to return to pre-injury duties.
A rehabilitation consultant will conduct an in-depth interview to obtain information relating to the injury. Further detail is gathered from doctors, health professionals and the employer, to contribute to the assessment of the worker's needs.
An initial assessment can be used as a 'one-off' service by employers to determine the extent of a worker's injuries. This gives them information so that they can take a proactive approach to the return to work (RTW) process, either managing it internally or through a rehabiltation provider.
Expected Outcome
The aim of the initial assessment is to gather information to determine the severity of the injury and limitations due to the injury, in order to develop a RTW goal that is agreed by all stakeholders.
