“…Intervention: Coordinated and Tailored Work Rehabilitation (CTWR) CTWR consists of two main components: (1) a work disability screening: a systematic, multidisciplinary assessment of disability and functioning as well as the identification of barriers for RTW (based on the program developed by Loisel et al [7,16,22]); and (2) the formulation and implementation of a coordinated, tailored and action-oriented work rehabilitation plan collaboratively developed by an interdisciplinary team using a feedbackguided approach. This approach develops a dynamic loop where evaluations and interventions are periodically re-adjusted as new information is obtained.…”

“…The worker/patient, the employer, the healthcare provider, and the insurer, are all involved in the work disability process, often in complex interplays [7][8][9][10]. Also, the process of return to work (RTW) following ill health has a multifactorial nature, including complex interactions between (1) biological, psychological, and social factors as well as (2) different ''systems'', such as the personal, workplace, health care and insurance system [7,9,[11][12][13]. Moreover, work disability and RTW processes and practices have to be understood and appreciated within the specific administrative and jurisdictional context [7,11,14].…”

“…The absence of this information and the need for effective RTW measures has prompted the development of a new ''coordinated and tailored work rehabilitation'' (CTWR) approach, based on a Canadian multidisciplinary work rehabilitation program (i.e., the Sherbrooke model by Loisel et al) [7,[15][16][17]. Loisel et al [16] found that the combination of an occupational intervention and a clinical rehabilitation intervention was effective on disability and RTW.…”

Introduction In Denmark, the magnitude and impact of work disability on the individual worker and society has prompted the development of a new ''coordinated and tailored work rehabilitation'' (CTWR) approach. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of CTWR with conventional case management (CCM) on return-towork of workers on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Methods The study was a randomized controlled trial with economic evaluation undertaken with workers on sick leave for 4-12 weeks due to MSDs. CTWR consists of a work disability screening by an interdisciplinary team followed by the collaborative development of a RTW plan. The primary outcome variable was registered cumulative sickness absence hours during 12 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes were work status as well as pain intensity and functional disability, measured at baseline, 3 and 12 months follow-up. The economic evaluation (intervention costs, productivity loss, and health care utilization costs) was based on administrative data derived from national registries. Results For the time intervals 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and the entire follow-up period, the number of sickness absence hours was significantly lower in the CTWR group as compared to the control group. The total costs saved in CTWR participants compared to controls were estimated at US $ 1,366 per person at 6 months follow-up and US $ 10,666 per person at 12 months follow-up. Conclusions Workers on sick leave for 4-12 weeks due to MSD who underwent ''CTWR'' by an interdisciplinary team had fewer sickness absence hours than controls. The economic evaluation showed that-in terms of productivity loss-CTWR seems to be cost saving for the society.

“…Transdisciplinarity is mandatory in the multidimensional field of WDP, which requires the involvement of numerous disciplines with a shared theoretical model [2,5]. In our view, transdisciplinarity is the capacity of scientists and stakeholders from diverse disciplines and perspectives to form alliances in order to pool their specific expertise on the common field.…”

Overall, trainees appreciated the networking, the opportunity to interact with people from different disciplines and countries, the openness, and the international perspective and uniqueness of the program. The least appreciated aspects concerned mainly the e-learning course, evaluations and information on optional courses. The coordination and logistics were judged appropriate and several topics were suggested to improve the program quality. Conclusion In general, the program implementation went well, with good participation from mentors, speakers and stakeholders; the program was appreciated by the trainees and alumni. This paper underscores the importance of the international perspective, the transdisciplinarity and the scientific networking established through the program.
