Workers' Compensation Case Study on Rehabilitation Solutions

This case study details the rehabilitation process of a security guard who sustained severe injuries, including a gunshot wound resulting in paraplegia and other complications. The document outlines the collaborative efforts between the injured employee, the Apricus care coordinator, and the Enlyte case manager, focusing on the integration of durable medical equipment (DME) and medical supplies into the rehabilitation plan. The goals set by the treating physician aimed to reduce the hours of home health care required and to encourage the injured employee towards greater independence. The case study presents the successful implementation of various DME, such as a custom wheelchair and an electric transfer bed, which facilitated the injured employee's ability to manage his living environment. Over four months, significant progress was made, including increased independence in daily activities and a reduction in home health care hours, leading to a total cost savings of $172,820.72.
