Investigations of how sick should get back to work doing to it takes longer for them to do just that. It says Inspectorate of Social Security, the ISF.
The Insurance Agency should exercise caution when investigations early in sick leave and they should also see if reconciliation meetings on sick leave has been with the National Health and the employer is at all appropriate.
The proposed ISF after a study on investigations leading to increased return to work.
– It is because of that the investigations, which are used in order to help sick back to work, in fact delaying return to work and increase absenteeism, says Pathric Hagglund, a researcher at the ISF.
Inspectorate of social insurance have seen that they are being investigated by the Social Insurance early in the sick leave are away from work longer than the agency has only assessed if the sick leave is entitled to sickness benefit, says Pathric Hagglund, a researcher at the National Inspectorate of social insurance.
– There is a perception that early and active intervention is preferable, but it assumes that it is possible to identify those who are in need of assistance and those who are not. It is also based on the existence of effective interventions to insert. So before the knowledge is greater in this area around what works for whom, one should be more cautious in implementing these investigations, he said.
A reconciliation meeting is for Social Insurance, together with the patient, employer and sometimes the doctor will find out what jobs the sick can perform and see what needs from work.
But Iinspektionen for social insurance suggests that the Social Insurance should see if progress meetings is at all appropriate, says Pathric Hagglund.
– Yes, precisely because one can see that those who undergo an initial discussion to a greater extent also receive some type of rehabilitation programs, and in turn delays the return to work. Then you should review these investigation methods.
So what do you think the insurance fund should do?
– What we know from the research is to control and trials of the right to compensation, following the legal framework, leading to a lower sickness absence.
