Factors Affecting Return to Work After Injury or Illness | Webinar by Dr. Carol Cancelliere

Factors Affecting Return to Work After Injury or Illness | Webinar

Aug 9 2018 - 11:00am

Work disability is a major personal, financial and public health burden. With more people living with many types of chronic illnesses now than ever before, the problem of work disability will continue to escalate if we do not take action.

Return to work is a major indicator of real-world functioning, therefore predicting future success is a major focus of research. Returning employees to work is complex and involves the interplay of different factors beyond only disease. 

Participants will learn:

The components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework and how they apply to return to work

Common prognostic factors associated with return to work outcomes

Modifiable prognostic factors

Principles of successful return to work
