Outline of presentation What do we mean with rehabilitation? Policy and legislative framework – Department of Labour RMA practice Closure
Rehabilitation 'Rehabilitation' means measures, in the form of clinical, vocational and social services and facilities, provided with a view to the reintegration of employees exposed to an occupational injury or disease back into work and to enable them to attain and maintain maximum independence, full physical, mental, social and vocational ability, and with full inclusion and participation in all aspects of life;
Social Security Schemes respect the paradigm-shift from only compensating claims and paying pensions to creating structures and processes towards pro-active rehabilitation programs. Return-to-work (RTW) strategies attract disability management programs to the state, the enterprises, insurers and service providers by preventive measures close to the worksite. Objectives of rehabilitation
International practice Social Accident Insurers are successful in return to work because of: their focus on the remaining abilities of workers with disabilities, not on their deficits using experts and financial incentives to assist companies in managing a return to work structure attracting service providers, mainly physicians and medical clinics, to intervene as early as appropriate
