Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painâ€"it is the most common complaint presented to physicians. Yet pain is subjectiveâ€"it cannot be measured directly and is difficult to validate. Evaluating claims based on pain poses major problems for the Social Security Administration (SSA) and other disability insurers. This volume covers the epidemiology and physiology of pain; psychosocial contributions to pain and illness behavior; promising ways of assessing and measuring chronic pain and dysfunction; clinical aspects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation; and how the SSA's benefit structure and administrative procedures may affect pain complaints.

Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

Download or read book An independent review of the Work Capability Assessment written by Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Work Capability Assessment (WCA) was designed to focus on a person's capability rather than their incapacity. It distinguishes between those people who could work; those people who could work at some point with the right support (the Work-related Activity Group); and those people who cannot work (the Support Group). In essence the WCA was designed to be a first positive step towards work for most people. However this Review found that the WCA is not working as well as it should. Interactions with both Jobcentre Plus and Atos are often impersonal, mechanistic and lack clarity; the Jobcentre Plus Decision Makers do not in practice make decisions but instead typically 'rubber stamp' the advice provided through Atos; some conditions are more difficult to assess than others; communication and feedback between the difference agencies and organisations involved is often fragmented. Accordingly the key recommendations include: empowering and investing in Decision Makers; to account for the particular difficulties in assessing mental, intellectual and cognitive impairments by ensuring Atos employ 'champions' of these conditions in each Medical Examination Centre building more empathy into the process; improving transparency by ensuring each report contains a personalised summary of the Atos healthcare professional's recommendations;; and better communication and feedback. Piloting of audio recording of Atos assessments is also suggested. As the first of five annual reviews in the WCA this report also proposes a programme of work for the second review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review, looking at disability employment support, and entitled "Getting in, staying in and getting on", seeks to ensure that disabled people have the opportunities and support needed to meet their employment aspirations. The focus of the review has set out a number of recommendations for employment support and the author has focused on three areas to promote this objective. (1) To set out the types of support that today's young disabled people will want in a future economy; (2) Enshrining the right to work objectives as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; (3) To make a case for cross-Government work to unlock the big enablers of employment, that is "Getting in, staying in and getting on" , which includes raising the aspirations of what disabled people can achieve. For "getting in" this should include more disabled people doing apprenticeships, work experience and work placements; for "staying in" there should be better promotion for Access to Work for retension and for "getting on" there should be greater encouragement of disabled people in setting up businesses and gaining skills for career development. The publication is divided into 5 chapters, with appendices.

Download or read book Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses written by J. Paul Leigh and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS. The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members. Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injuryand Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.

Book excerpt: In 2009 Lord Boyce independently chaired a review of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. This report announces that the government will implement, in full, all of the recommendations from that Review. Key recommendations that will be taken forward include: the Guaranteed Income Payment will be increased to reflect the lasting effect of more serious injuries; the top tariff level, already doubled in 2008, will remain at £570,000 whilst all others will be increased; the maximum award for mental award for mental illness will be increased; a new expert medical body will be created to advise on compensation; the burden of proof will remain largely as is but improvements will be made in cases of illness and where records have not been properly maintained; the time limits by which claims must made or appealed will be increased; a new fast interim payment will introduced; and the way in which in the scheme is communicated will be improved

Download or read book The Science and Politics of Work Disability Prevention written by Ellen MacEachen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rising cost of illness and disability benefits are one of today’s biggest social and labour market challenges. The promise of activation-oriented work disability policies was labour market engagement for all people, regardless of illness, injury or impairment. However, the reality has been more complex. The Science and Politics of Work Disability Policy addresses social and political economic contexts driving state work disability reform in 13 countries. In this first attempt to explain the history and future of work disability policy, this book asks new questions about work disability policy design, focus, and effects. It details how work disability policies have evolved with jurisdictions, why these take their current shape, and where they are heading. The well positioned authors draw on their insider knowledge and expertise in law, medicine, and social science to provide detailed case studies of their jurisdictions. This pathbreaking volume will be of interest to social security system policy makers, scholars, and students in the health and social sciences.
