Treatment Goals as it Relates to the Essential Job Functions: Use specific, functional, and measurable terms (pounds, degrees of motion-passive and active, hours, minutes, etc.) to describe tasks that the patient needs to perform in order to return to his or her current position or to maximal residual function whenever this is not possible. Towards that end, clinicians should identify those essential job functions that currently limit the client’s ability to perform his or her usual duties. These essential job functions must be derived from the client’s current job description. Clinicians are encouraged to discuss the physical demands of the position with both the client and the employer. The job description should then be compared to the client’s current physical demands in order to identify the essential job functions that will be used as goals to ascertain whether or not the client is making acceptable progress with the treatment being given in returning to work. The goals should be described in objective, measurable and functional terms. Examples include: 1) “occasional lifts of 30 lbs. from floor to shoulder height,” 2) “Able to perform light assembly work above eye level for up to 20 minutes at one time and 2½ hours a day,” 3) “Able to be up on their feet for up to 2 hours at one time and 6 hours a day,” and 4) “Able to type for 45 minutes at one time without increased symptoms.” Improvement in stated functional goals, hours worked, and subjective pain ratings will be used to determine whether or not further treatment will be authorized. Hours Required to Work Per Shift / Day: This should reflect the pre-injury average hours required per shift the patient was required to work for a full days work. On the 8 th , 14 th and 20 th visits, list the average numbers of hours a day the patient is currently working. Pain Intensity: Clients should rate their pain on a 10 cm. Visual Analog Scale with “0” = no pain and “10” = the worst pain imaginable. Pain Frequency: Clients should rate what % of the day their pain is present, i.e. 0-10-20-30-40-50- 60-70-80-90-100% of the day. Expected Number of Visits to Reach Stated Goals: Provider is to estimate from their experience treating patients with a similar condition, the number of visits to obtain the treatment goals. Treatment Plan: General description of the intended plan of care for the patient. Changes to the program should be noted on the 8 th , 14 th and 20 th visits requests for authorization. Attended/Intended Visits: The number of visits that patient has attended divided by the number of visits the patient should have attended according to the treatment plan. In other words, if the patient should be receiving treatment three times a week but has only attended 4 times in the past three weeks, the result would be 4 (visits attended)/9 (visits intended). Provider Comments: Space is provided for the clinician to provide additional information regarding the patient not covered by previous sections.
