Course Description
This fast-moving and practically-oriented session gives physicians a brief overview of simple concepts, tools and resources that provide useful guidance in making decisions about their patients’ sickness absence and return to work. Dr. Christian will answer these questions: Why are these decisions so difficult to make? When is it medically necessary for a patient to stay home? How long should they avoid work? What level of effort is medically appropriate when? When will the patient be able to do their regular job again?
You will learn:
- The three worst possible outcomes of an illness or injury in a working person.
- How to distinguish between medically-required, medically-discretionary, and medically-unnecessary work disability
- What the nocebo effect is, and how it affects recovery and return to work.
- How to use the RTW Screening Test, the Obstacle Question and the Solution Finder to sort out situations and give better advice.
