Carolina Case Management can help an injured employee return to work after a difficult or long medical leave or when their injury prevents them from performing their original position. A rehabilitation consultant will assess an injured worker’s vocational, physical and cognitive abilities to determine their potential for a new position. This process includes a range of evaluations:
A vocational assessment measures the likelihood to return to work. Testing can provide an objective way to evaluate personality/temperament, achievement, education/intelligence level, vocational aptitude, interests and lifestyle as they relate to today’s workforce. Determining the appropriateness for placement into a job (either directly or with training) and returning the individual to suitable and gratifying employment is the most important part of the case manager’s work. Early intervention is the key to a successful return to work. Assessment report can be expected within 10 days of completion of the evaluation.
This analysis is a systematic and orderly method to evaluate a client’s potential for work. This analysis includes the client’s background, education and work history and identifies skills which can be used in one job and then “transferred” into another job.
A job analysis measures the fundamentals, factors, behaviors and activities required to perform a specific job. With this information, a job description is developed. A job description is a narrative description of the activities and requirements of a specific job. The analysis of the job will then determine how closely it can match the client’s residual capabilities.
A Digital Job Analysis documents objective and complete data to include:
