An Insider's Guide to Vocational Rehabilitation in Washington
Swedish Medical Center, Glaser Auditorium, Seattle, Washington
7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
After healing an injured worker, providing safe and effective return to work is the paramount goal of the workers' compensation system. Often that requires vocational rehabilitation.
It can be a complex process that requires a high level of cooperation, trust, professional judgment, and collaboration between the many different participants in a workers' compensation claim.
For our first annual RTW Summit, we have assembled a group of experts from the vocational services and employer communities to explore these topics in depth and through interaction and audience engagement, provide take-home tips for getting the best return to work experience for your workers.
The day also includes ethics content that explores aspects of professional responsibility in the delivery of high quality rehabilitation services as well as legal and regulatory updates affecting vocational rehabilitation.
Full agenda below.
This workshop is perfect for all vocational service providers in the State Fund and Self-Insurance, as well as workers' compensation professionals who work with vocational counselors and want to know more about the vocational rehabilitation system:
- Workers' Comp risk & program managers
- State Fund & Self-Insured claims managers
- Human Resources & Safety
- Attorneys & Paralegals
- Health Care Professionals
