    Early return to work programs can be challenging. Placing injured employees in external workshops, like those for the developmentally disabled, significantly reduced workers' compensation costs while maintaining full wages.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Early return to work is a common strategy for post-injury/illness recovery.
    • Traditional early return to work programs face significant obstacles.
    • External placement offers an alternative to overcome these challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an external placement early return to work program.
    • To assess the impact on workers' compensation costs.
    • To determine the financial viability of maintaining full wages during this program.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementing an early return to work program with external placement in workshops for the developmentally disabled.
    • Tracking workers' compensation costs for participating employees.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparing costs against traditional return to work scenarios.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in workers' compensation costs was observed.
    • Employees received 100% of their wages during the program.
    • The program proved cost-effective despite full wage payment.

    Conclusions:

    • External placement early return to work programs can be highly effective.
    • This model offers a viable solution for reducing workers' compensation expenses.
    • Maintaining full wages is feasible within this cost-saving framework.
