A monitored treatment program for impaired health care professionals.
Employees who are motivated to seek treatment, return to the work place as productive employees in 85%-90% of the cases. The Monitored Treatment Program and contract between the employee and employer provide an objective data base for re-entry. The program is multifaceted, approaching re-entry with active participation and involvement by all members of the rehabilitation team. Such a program can protect the institution from liability, while providing an appropriate response to impaired staff during the re-entry process.
