Injury Prevention:
IMPACC providers are Physical and Occupational Therapists who,
as medical ergonomic consultants, look beyond expensive re-design
of the workplace to consider other non-design alternatives that
are often far more effective and less expensive approaches to
injury prevention. The IMACC "schools" place greater
responsibility for injury prevention on the worker and teach management
strategies for control of injuries, claims and costs, as well
as build the attitudes, skills and commitment necessary for continued
success.
On Site Therapy:
On-site therapy provides you with a physical or occupational therapist
in your facility who can provide needed services to injured workers
without the need to send them to our hospital campus. On-site
therapy also provides you a more efficient means of communication
to safety managers and an expert who can assist in managing the
employees injury as they move from light duty back to their former
job.
Functional Capacity Evaluation:
A functional capacity evaluation is a detailed and standardized
evaluation that measures the ability of an employees ability to
perform work. Usually ordered by a physician, and performed by
an occupational or physical therapist the evaluation process includes
physical evaluation procedures, questionnaires and observations.
The results of the evaluation provides objective measures that
can be used by the physician to make work related recommendations.
Post offer employment job testing:
This evaluation is specific to the job the employee is being considered
for. The evaluating therapist uses guidelines provided by the
employer to determine a worker's ability to perform the critical
demands of a particular job prior to hiring the employee. The
fee for this service is based on the time requirement, depending
on the number of essential job functions that need to be evaluated.
Please feel free to call for more information on our industrial
therapy services or to schedule a FREE presentation and to explain
