What This Program is About

Ever wonder how health care providers view the process of estimating physical capacity for light duty return to work and why they complete the Activity Prescription Form (APF) the way they do?  In this presentation, Dr. Gilmore will discuss avoiding long term disability problems by returning injured workers to light duty while they recover.  He will share his insight regarding the issues health care providers experience in estimating physical capacity and prescribing light duty, both of which are essential to the process, and how claims managers/employers can partner with and assist them.  Dr. Gilmore will provide guidelines for estimating physical capacity for several common work related conditions and approaches to the APF as a tool to return injured workers to the workplace and pave the way for return to full work duties.  Upon completion of webinar please email any questions to Bonnie Prater at bonnie.prater@wsiassn.org.
