JobReha

The aim of the project is to improve the flow of information at the interface between the company and rehabilitation with regard to the reintegration of employees with illnesses of the musculoskeletal system into the work process. Further goals: - Early and unbureaucratic initiation of rehabilitation measures by the company physician - Consistent establishment of therapy and rehabilitation goals geared to the individual needs and requirements of the workplace - Improved communication/ networking between the company physician and the rehabilitation physician - Preservation of the workplace - Optimization of effectiveness through accompanying scientific research Essential prerequisites for participation in "JobReha": - Orthopedic illness - Complaints at the workplace - No pension application - Threat to the workplace In Phase I, the process of implementing the project was accompanied by means of a formative evaluation. With reconstruction of the previous care process (actual state), the following instruments were developed in working group meetings and recorded in an overall concept: Definition of access routes to the project, standardized reports on current workplace stress, workplace-specific rehabilitation programs and joint training for all those involved in the project. Participants access the "JobReha" project via a company. A workplace-specific rehabilitation report provides the company doctor with information on the specific capabilities of the participants, enabling them to be reintegrated into the company in a manner appropriate to their abilities. Overall, the interface management in the "Job-Reha" project optimizes care processes. In Phase II, the effectiveness of the measures will be implemented and evaluated in a comparative study.
