Find below responses to typically used questionnaires in Workers compensation.
These questionnaires are useful working with difficult clients. Specifically, you may be having difficulty measuring a physical improvement from your treatment and you want to see for yourself, but also prove to the Insurance company, that your treatment remains clinically effective and necessary.
Forms are best to be performed early in the treatment process, and may have an associated online form to email to clients to complete in their own time.
Some forms have been researched for their effectiveness and what certain scores indicate for the injured person.
Please copy and paste the below responses in your AHRR's or reports and make amendments specific to your client.
OMPQ-10 Short form TEMPLATE RESPONSE:
The OMPQ short form has been used to predict potential delays in recovery, return to work and long-term disability.
A score of< 50 are 'low risk' for absenteeism and a typically good recovery.
Scores between 57 - 72 are a moderate risk of delayed recovery and return to work.
Scores >72 predict a high risk of failure to return to work.
CLIENTS NAME scored ## out of a possible 72 points. Our goal of therapy is to combine physical therapy alongside addressing the psychological barriers to lower their overall score, increasing their likelihood for functional improvement and return to work.
Due to the nature of their injury and barriers to a successful return to work, I recommend XX consultations over a timeframe of XX months.
