Vocational rehabilitation is an individualized, comprehensive program focused
on the safe, permanent and cost-effective return of injured workers to the work
force.
Vocational rehabilitation, a voluntary program, benefits injured
workers through programs that assist them in returning to work and maintaining
their jobs.
Case management professionals, who specialize in vocational rehabilitation,
develop and coordinate these services. Their goal is to assist injured workers
in returning to work through individualized vocational rehabilitation programs
that meet the needs of the injured worker. Effective vocational rehabilitation
case managers can help reduce lost time and medical expenses.
