For employees requiring special considerations or accommodations in the workplace, either due to an existing medical condition or an injury sustained while employed, sometimes a medical file review is necessary. Medical file reviews are detailed examinations of a person’s medical records by a qualified healthcare professional to assess a person’s medical condition, treatment history, and prognosis without requiring an in-person assessment. They are a cost-effective solution when employers need a quick medical opinion in non-complicated situations that wouldn’t require an independent medical exam.
Medical file reviews provide objective and valid information that can be used to support an employee’s accommodation requests. Ultima Independent Assessments provides medical file reviews from qualified medical professionals to help employers maintain a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, whilst also ensuring satisfactory performance and productivity from employees requiring special accommodations.
