DoD Medical Case Management Working Group White Paper
DoD Best Practice sites that implemented team approach with medical personnel showed significant improvements with very modest financial resources. This white paper provides a foundation and impetus for decision and policy makers to improve the way DoD does business through medical support to workers' compensation case management.

Integrated Team-Based Medical Case Management
Reducing workers’ compensation costs and lost workdays is the responsibility of everyone involved in the workers’ compensation program. A team approach is a critical factor in the success of the overall workers’ compensation program. Activities that have a good interaction among the interdisciplinary services and key players, to include the injured or ill worker, exhibit better lost time case rates and decreases in overall program costs.
