WorkHealth

WorkHealth Services from Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital center around returning employees to productive roles as quickly as possible. WorkHealth utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating strong communications between employer, workers' compensation case manager, physician and therapist.

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)
A Functional Capacity Evaluation is an assessment that determines an individual's true, safe physical capabilities and work-related tasks. An FCE is performed one-on-one between evaluator and client for one or two days for several hours of intense evaluation. WorkHealth utilizes the WorkWell System (formally Isernhagen WorkSystems). This system allows for one and two day evaluations based on the extent of the information required.

Work Conditioning
Work Conditioning is a structured, individualized, work oriented program designed to restore strength, endurance, movement and flexibility. The objective of this program is to restore function to enable a safe return to work through a goal oriented, job specific program. Appointments are recommended at 3-4 hours per day and 3-5 days per week.
