The occupational health hub provides physician-led assessment and consultation services to support recovery and return-to-work education and planning.
It provides virtual physician assessment services with a focus on occupational rehabilitation for people with musculoskeletal and mild traumatic brain injuries. It also includes assessments with a specific focus such as expedited assessment for migrant workers, non-economic loss assessment and complex medication assessment, in addition to case consult services.
A provincial network of public hospitals and partnerships deliver services close to home or without the person travelling to a local hospital at all.
Embedding both return-to-work services and communication, with all health care providers involved, ensures collaboration so everyone is supporting recovery and return to work.
Assessment services
Virtual occupational assessment
This assessment is for people who have non-complex, acute musculoskeletal or mild traumatic brain injury and require guidance from an occupational rehabilitation physician expert. This assessment can be used if the person does not have a family doctor and to provide education and guidance on return-to-work.
Complex medication review
This assessment is for people with complex medication histories who have a workplace injury or illness. Together, a physician specialist and pharmacist complete an assessment to optimize pharmacological treatment and provide the assessment to their patient's primary health care provider.
Migrant worker assessment
This assessment is for migrant workers with a workplace injury or illness who need an expedited assessment.
Non-economic loss assessment
When needed, this assessment is for people who have a permanent impairment, and no further recovery is anticipated. The person can select an assessing physician from a roster to perform the assessment.
Case consultation services
Case consultation services offer quality medical opinions to help improve people’s recovery and return-to-work outcomes. There are three types of case consultation services: general, occupational disease and specialty, all performed by physician specialists.
