Health Metrics, Inc., Human Performance Services Programs
(HPS) support illness/injury prevention initiatives. HPS assists employers
by accelerating employees’ return to work after a job-impacting
illness/injury, while reducing the likelihood of
reoccurrence. Applying HMI's "integrated systems approach," the
HPS program provides these services by:
- Conducting assessments of job demands, worker capabilities, and options for remediation in the presence of a mismatch.
- Providing assessments and therapeutic interventions central to the remediation of sub-acute, job-impacting, or job-caused illness/injury.
- Facilitating the early return to work process such that recuperation time from job impacting limitations is reduced.
In addition, HPS:
- Provides objective and valid data to support medical provider's decisions regarding work restrictions, return to work (RTW) or fitness for duty (FFD) clearance and denial.
- Assesses employee health or job injury risk through the provision of job specific, medically sound, and practical functional capacity evaluations.
- Provides analysis of job demands. This service determines load factors that must be considered in the FFD/RTW process and assists with the interpretation of an employee's job task analysis.
- Satisfies legal and expert guidance drivers of functional assessment and reconditioning programs such as:
10 CFR, 29 CFR, NFPA 1500, NFPA 1582, Americans with Disabilities Act,
Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Civil Rights Act, and
the Uniform Guidelines for Employee Selection Procedures.
- Develops Work Conditioning Programs (WCP) and
related services for employees who have become
de-conditioned or are recovering
from illness/injury. The WCP’s purpose is to restore workplace
functionality to ensure that an employee’s can perform all
essential job requirements without undue risk of
illness/injury or recurrence.
To assist employers
with their efforts to reduce industrial injury-risk
and manage their loss experience more effectively,
HMI has developed a comprehensive
approach to risk and cost reductions through an "integrated systems approach."
