Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	RETAIN Program	Facilitates early intervention strategies to support workers in staying-at or returning-to-work (SAW/RTW) after injury or illness and preventing unnecessary disability. This is done by incorporating a Return-to-Work Case Manager as a member of the healthcare clinical team who acts as a liaison for the patient and assists in coordination of referrals between healthcare and Workforce Development services. Return-to-Work Case Managers will interact with treating providers of Minnesota RETAIN participants to ensure functionally based work restrictions are documented and shared with the patient's employer.
