OccuCare Systems and Solutions' recently completed two of their more popular industrial rehab continuing education courses in Norfolk, Nebraska. Their Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training course and their Pre-Placement Post-Offer Training course. Faith Regional Health Systems also implemented OccuCare's comprehensive industrial rehab software.Faith Regional Health System was looking to implement industrial rehab programming within the hospitals rehabilitation department. They sought out various software systems and training programs and chose OccuCare's software and training because it offers six different industrial rehab testing options which produces eight different return to work reports all in one software system. They also liked the fact that they were going to be trained in all industrial rehab services all in one course.
Following the two courses and software implementation, Faith Regional attendees reported

"Jim Mecham was excellent. He really knows the subject and presents it at a level you can easily understand". Sheleene Jonseth, OTR/L
Many rehab facilities looking to implement industrial rehab are turning to OccuCare's software and training secondary to the innovative products they offer in their program. These innovative products include
Functional Progress Notes TM and Functional Discharge Summaries TM which are functional re-assessments that are performed during outpatient therapy. Unlike an FCE that tests a persons entire body, these functional re-assessments test the injured joint to help determine if the injured joint is ready to return to full duty work. These functional re-assessments do not require a Dr's order, do not require insurance approval, and usually are a 50% to 100% higher charge ticket as compared to a standard re-eval charge tickets.The methodologies OccuCare teaches clinics throughout the United States include implementing a full approach to industrial rehab from initial outpatient eval all the way to return to work. Clinics that implement OccuCare's Online Assessment Application and participate in their Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training course are clinics that specialize in the treatment of the injured worker.
OccuCare's Online Assessment Application is the fastest growing tool for therapy practitioners to implement a very customizable industrial rehab assessment tool. The Online Assessment Application has the most testing options available on the open market which include
performing:
