Work injuries clinical audit

Five-stage audit, run from January/February - June 2024

Occupational specialists, Dr Thanh Ha and Dr Mary Wyatt, will guide and mentor participants through how to specifically address return to work barriers and implement strategies to bring about changes that enhance patient outcomes.

This activity incorporates reflection, self-directed activity, education and mentoring within the framework of a clinical audit process.

This is a five-stage audit activity to be completed over five to six months from January/February to June 2024.

The majority of the audit is self-driven reflection and action. There are two mandatory group discussion/reflection meetings held in February and May.

Leaning outcomes:

  • Review current practice and processes for screening, assessment and management of work-injured patients.
  • Identify ways to incorporate multi-disciplinary and biopsychosocial care into routine practice for work injuries.
  • Develop an action plan for implementation to improve psychosocial screening, collaboration with key stakeholders involved in a work injury claim, and management aligned to best-practice recommendations.
