Event 2: Hospital admissions after long-duration workers’ compensation claims

Описание: In this seminar we present the findings of Report 2 in the Transitions Study - the first Australian study to examine hospitalisations towards the end of long workers’ compensation claims, and afterwards.

We know that many people seek care immediately following an occupational injury, but here we will showcase the value of monitoring future hospitalisations - indicating the worsening of a serious illness, severe pain, or mental illness over much longer periods of time.

The end of a compensation claim can be stressful period of adjustment – does the hospital system pick up the pieces?

Presented by Dr Daniel Griffiths and Professor Alex Collie from the Healthy Working Lives Research Group at Monash University, Melbourne.
