TL;DR
The activities of RTW coordinators in published trials to provide a basis for establishing necessary competencies are described and six preliminary competency domains were identified.
Abstract
Principal activities of RTW coordination involve workplace assessment, planning for transitional duty, and facilitating communication and agreement among stakeholders. Successful RTW coordination may depend more on competencies in ergonomic job accommodation, communication, and conflict resolution than on medical training.
