Workplace Productivity Services
Provide Preventive & Return-to-Work Products That Complement & Enhance Our Managed Care Services
Expedite safe and productive return to work through the evaluation of the physical abilities of injured employees and the physical demands of their full-time and transitional jobs. Furthermore, you can reduce future injuries by ergonomically matching the work and the environment to the worker’s physical and psychological needs. Our products are based on defining the physical requirements of job tasks to identify hazards, mitigate preventable injuries, and facilitate return to work.
Physical Demands Analysis (PDA)
A PDA program changes the focus from maximum medical improvement to return to work. This service is the cornerstone of determining causation, medical treatment plans, return to work, and accommodation. A PDA provides a biomechanical description of the essential functions of a job and the physical demands required to perform them.
- Defines the essential functions in an ADA-compliant fashion
- Defines the physical abilities necessary to perform the essential functions
- Matches the physical abilities of employees with job demands
- Facilitates consistency of treatment and decreases over-utilization
