Interdisciplinary Assessment
The Interdisciplinary Assessment is a multi-disciplinary evaluation to:
- Determine or confirm medical and/or psychological diagnosis
- Determine level of impairment, functional limitations and disability
- Identify factors (i.e., medical, psychological, psychosocial, physical and functional) that may have contributed to the emergence and maintenance of disability)
The comprehensive assessment report includes the following:
- Detailed file review
- Description of subjective symptoms
- Relevant objective findings
- Explanation of inconsistencies observed
- Review of current medications and recommendations to optimize pain management
- Explanation of the causes of impairment
- Identification of potential discrepancies between level of impairment and disability
- Identification of limitations and restrictions
- Prognosis with timelines for recovery, treatment recommendations and expected outcomes
- Identification of any other issues that are clinically relevant
Clinicians on the assessment team may include a medical doctor, psychologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and kinesiologist. Clinicians will address those questions or issues that pertain to their discipline in their individual reports. A summary report is also provided, unless requested otherwise.
