Abstract:
This article addresses employment as a critical part of community reintegration for polytrauma patients. Interdisciplinary polytrauma teams can work to effectively identify and eliminate known barriers to employment for veterans and offer continued support and guidance. This article discusses key themes pertinent to vocational reentry for service members/veterans, identifies evidenced-based employment models, highlights the essential role of everyday technology in meeting support needs, and describes 2 exemplar polytrauma models: the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Service member Transitional Advanced Rehabilitation (STAR) program at the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia.
