Certification Name : Certified Occupational Health Nurse – Canadian Case Manager
Certification Description
Occupational Health Nursing case management is the process of coordinating, the individual employee’s health care services to achieve optimal quality care delivered in a cost effective manner. The case manager establishes or qualifies a provider network, recommends treatment plans, monitors outcomes, and maintains a strong communication link among all the parties. (AAOHN, 1994)
The occupational health nurse case manager coordinates the proactive efforts of the health care team to facilitate an individual client’s health care services from the onset of injury or illness to safe return to work or optimal alternative. Case management includes the development of preventive systems and the mobilization of appropriate resources for care over the course of the health event. Care is delivered with the goal of returning the worker to pre-illness or pre-injury function or to the highest level of functioning achievable.
The occupational health nurse case manager may coordinate services for workers with both occupational and non-occupational conditions as well as dependents covered by the company’s benefit plan. These services can be delivered through a variety of models, i.e., on-site, telephonic, off-site, or a combination thereof. Case management facilitates safe and timely return-to-work and results in cost savings.
