Interactive Job Descriptions for the Treating Physician
A Video Job Analysis is uniquely designed to give an employee’s treating physician certain advantages over and above what a typical written job description cannot provide. With today’s technology, existing written job descriptions can be modified to contain interactive video links leading a physician to a more comprehensive visual understanding of an employee’s essential and non-essential job duties. The Video JA process breaks down and visually categorizes each of these essential job tasks. When combined with early intervention, an injured employee should be able to return to work as soon as possible and without any unnecessary delays.
Modified Work Assistance
The trouble with a doctor prescribing modified duty for an injured employee is that it is often difficult to acquire information regarding any available return to work alternatives. Even with a standard written job analysis, it is sometimes difficult for a doctor to understand exactly what the original job duties had involved. In addition to this, the injured employee is not always aware of how his or her job duties can be modified and what would be acceptable to the employer. At times, the doctor, employee, and even the employee’s immediate supervisor will not be aware of the type of transitional or alternate work that might be available to keep an injured employee within the physician imposed work restrictions. Having an employee off work can be quite costly to the employer.
IAIABC PUBLICATION
With the goal of keeping an employee productive at some type of activity, one can see the advantage of having immediate access to a company Video JA library showing all possible work classifications. Having this information, return to work discussions between the doctor, employee, employer, case manager, and even ergonomist can begin as early as possible.
Experience the Convenience of Web-Based Access
By utilizing Electronic Medical Record method of delivery, Video Job Analysis can easily integrate into any business communication platform. With online access, information can be immediately and simultaneously shared between employers, claims examiners, case managers, vocational counselors, and doctor offices. This helps to ensure a more accurate and consistent interpretation of an injured employee’s customary pre-injury job description. The context in which any physical limitations or disabilities apply is better understood by all parties.
