Overview: Occupational medicine providers strive to ensure both return-to-health and timely, safe, productive and enduring return-to-work for injured workers. By doing so, they reduce work disability and employer costs. The authors have applied conservative estimates of lost work time and the associated costs for two common work injuries in employees of a private, state-insured company in Ohio, under two scenarios, "Usual Care" and "Care Management". The estimated difference in the cost of work disabilities between Usual Care and Care Management scenarios for an uncomplicated thumb laceration was $10,150.
