Compliance with Hawaii's Workers' Compensation Law.
The late United States Supreme Court Justice Brandeis once stated: "Don't assume that the interests of employer and employee are necessarily hostile--that what is good for one is necessarily bad for the other. The opposite is more apt to be the case. While they have different interests, they are likely to suffer or prosper together". Working toward resolving the employee's physical and/or emotional problems will confer a benefit on both employer and employee. It has become apparent to me that the issues of concurrent care, consultations and treatment plans are of great concern to physicians in Hawaii. I have therefore chosen to discuss these areas in light of recent Labor and Industrial Relations Appeals Board decisions.
