History of Transitional WorkOSU has been accommodating temporary
restrictions for over 10 yearsFormal policy est. 2007
Offers employees the opportunity to return to work with temporary restrictions even if their home department cannot accommodate them by finding other work within the University

Transitional Work OverviewAny employee with medical restriction is eligiblePhysicalMental health
Does NOT necessarily have to be BWC or disability claim

Transitional Work Overview
OSU Transitional Work Policy 2.45- we do accommodate temporary restrictions95% of employees with restrictions
accommodatedApplies for occupational and non-
occupational injuriesTime limited –12 weeks
Exceptions—case by case basisShowing progress toward full duty
Since full implementation in 2007, cost savings of over $7 million

Ergonomic AssessmentCollect objective information re:
a specific employee, specific job tasks, employee’s workspace
Identify potential risk factors for MSD’sawkward positions, excessive force, excessive repetition, sustained positions, contact forces, etc.
Provide recommendation for improvement to appropriate partiesemployee, department, physician, ADA coordinator
![Page 18: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Functional Capacity EvaluationAn objective
measurement of a person’s ability to perform work
Bridges gap between medical and functional
PurposesDetermine if
symptomatic individuals can RTW in any capacity
Determine entry point to WC or WH
Consistency of effort
![Page 19: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Job Progression/Transitional Work
Have a starting point—initial restrictionsHave a goal—full duty (based on job
demands, not necessarily no restriction)Identify job tasks that can be:
Performed with current restrictionsThat can be performed with supervisionThat can be “therapeutic”
Outline graded job task/activity progression
Provide coaching/educationIdentify possible job modificationsAdjust as needed according to progress
![Page 20: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
On-Site PT and Clinic Based PT:Concurrent Services
Use job demands in goal setting
Assess and document functional abilities relevant to job demands
Communicate specific impairments that may be prohibiting progress in RTW
Be aware of TW timeline
Provide job assessments at (or close to) initial clinic visit
Communicate specific functional limitations that could be addressed in clinic therapy
Provide on-site visits for job coaching, workstation assessments
Clinic Based PT On-site PT

Patients with Work Related Injuries:
Unique Barriers to Recovery
![Page 28: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Symptom Magnification
“intentional production of false or grossly exaggerated physical or psychological symptoms, motivated by external incentives, such as avoiding military duty, avoiding work, obtaining financial compensation, evading criminal prosecution, or obtaining drugs”1
Probable prevalence in workers comp, personal injury, and disability claims estimated between 25-30%2
![Page 29: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Symptom Magnification: InterventionsDocument!!!!!
Discrepancies between self-report, musculoskeletal evaluation and functional performanceUse of self-report measures
Unannounced visit
Be PreparedObtain as much information as
possible prior to visitMedical, job information, etc.
![Page 30: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Performance IssuesOften see disciplinary/performance issues wrapped in injury claimsEx. Employee facing 3rd disciplinary action injures herself 2 days prior to hearing
Treat in good faithCommunicate with all parties (case manager, physicians, supervisors/departments, employees)
Set clear expectations for employee and department
![Page 31: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Wrap-Up
![Page 32: Alsu presentation 10 14-10-b](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062417/54c2634a4a7959306c8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Transitional work allows injured workers to return to work sooner, resulting in better patient outcomes, and decreased cost to the employer.
On-site PT helps to match the patients functional status to the job demands.
