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.
