Article Abstract:

An effective subjective disability management program requires teamwork and communication among the disability management team, employee, employer and the employee's doctor. A strong teamwork and continuing communication encourage a timely return to work for employees. Early intervention in subjective disability cases can reduce needless medical treatment, costs and emotional anguish related to employee disability.

Linking health plan performance with disability outcomes

Article Abstract:

The premise that health plans can have a direct impact on disability duration was proven. Employers focusing on the prompt and suitable medical care combined with employer-accommodated work programs would realize a distinct drop in lost productivity costs and would also decrease medical care costs. The introduction of adequate incentives around lost productivity may provide coordinated cost/benefit management.
