abstract: 'Rates of return to work (RTW) after burn injury vary. A 2012 systematic
review of the burn literature reported that nearly 28\% of all adult
burn survivors never return to any form of employment. These authors
called for interventions designed to assist survivors'' ability to
function in an employed capacity. In 2010, our burn center outpatient
clinic instituted an intervention aimed to return injured workers to
employment within 90 days of their insurance claims. The interventions
include patient/family education focused on recovery rather than
disability, employer contact and education by the vocational
rehabilitation (VR) counselor, physician recommendations for work
accommodations, provision of employee status letters, and Activity
Prescription Forms (APFs). The purpose of this study is to report on the
effectiveness of these interventions. Following institutional review
board (IRB) approval, medical records of adults with occupation-related
burn injuries and receiving care at a single regional burn center from
June 2010 to July 2015 were reviewed. Data on patient and injury
characteristics and outpatient VR services provided were collected. The
primary outcome of interest was the percentage of patients who RTW; 338
individuals met study entry criteria. The VR counselor evaluated all
patients. All patients received an employer letter(s) and APF
documentation. Workplace accommodations were provided to more than 30\%
of patients. RTW rate was 93\%, with an average of 24 days from injury
to RTW. In an intervention bundle involving the patient, employer,
Workers'' compensation, and the burn clinic staff, injured workers
achieved a high rate of RTW. Although we cannot correlate individual
bundle components to outcome, we postulate that the combination of
employer/employee/insurer engagement and flexibility contributed to the
success of this program.'
