case management
The process relating to workers compensation claims in which the recovery
and rehabilitation of an injured worker is overseen by a case manager. The goal
of the case manager is to focus on the rehabilitation of the individual so that
the return to work is quickened while aiding the worker in achieving preinjury
physical condition. This is a concept that developed in the benefit arena and
has been adapted to workers compensation.
