Gaining Control of Occupational Injury and Illness in the U.S. Navy Civilian Work Force
Abstract
This report describes a process, the Navy Occupational Injury and Illness Case Management Process (NAVCAMPRO), that was designed to integrate all phases of managing cases of occupational injury or illness and to institutionalize the control of these cases in order to achieve effective care coordination, case management, and cost containment. In NAVCAMPRO, role specifications are delineated for the following participants: supervisor, case manager, attending physician, occupational health nurse, health clinic liaison, light-duty supervisor, safety officer, physical therapist, security investigator, employees of the Department of Labor-Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, private physicians, representatives of labor organizations, and injured employees. Another important facet of NAVCAMPRO is the development and implementation of training programs as well as an incentive program (CARE). To implement NAVCAMPRO, key participants receive training, the process is instituted at a naval industrial setting, and an evaluation program of the effectiveness of NAVCAMPRO in meeting the aforementioned criteria is initiated.
