Grand Ballrooms 13 & 14
Convention Level


When a work-related injury or illness occurs, the desired outcome is to return the employee to their prior level of function. However, in a system that has many stakeholders, regulatory hurdles are prevalent, and the interests of all parties don’t always align. With the amount of work rehabilitation programs available, how do you choose the best fit for each injured worker? Our panel will share data insights demonstrating the efficacy of work rehabilitation programs to prevent or reduce risk, improve stay at work and return to work outcomes, and drive the best recovery journey possible for injured workers.
