When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Return to Work programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links discomfort reports, restrictions, modified duties
Not for
- Work Restriction Record, which records what a worker can and cannot do while recovering, and for how long.
- Modified Duty Plan, which sets out the temporary duties a recovering worker will perform.
- Return to Work Interview, which records the conversation on return from any absence, covering fitness, adjustments and whether work contributed.
- Anything outside KnowHealth, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
