Development of a Web site on the best practices related to disability and return to work (RTW)

Abstract

Financed by the REPAR/FRSQ network and the IRSST, a team of researchers will develop a business plan defining, among other things, the content, human and financial resource requirements of a unique website on disability and return to work of occupationally injured workers.

The purpose of the site is to provide workers, employers, insurers and health care professionals with relevant, convincing and accessible recommendations, as well as tools promoting the adoption of best practices and effective strategies for reducing work-related disabilities and facilitating a safe and sustainable return to work.
