What it means
A structured return-to-work program reduces lost time and re-injury by defining modified duty, restrictions and a graduated return. It requires coordination among the clinician, employee and employer, with restrictions tracked against job demands. Tying RTW to case management and absence tracking keeps everyone working from the same status.
