It is based on the premise that developments and discoveries within the scientific and medical communities are relevant to the population at large. Proper technology assessment is an approach that is vital to address the current limitations of the worker's compensation system. The aim of this presentation is to discuss the need for objective diagnostic tools, such as Electrodiagnostic Functional Assessment (EFA), in the workers' compensation system with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Workers' compensation musculoskeletal claims may benefit from a wireless assessment to diagnose and monitor soft tissue injuries and this technology may be applicable to wellness and healthcare programs.

More than 1200 companies serviced by a national insurer were assessed by measures, including management surveys, and insurance premium costs and risk profile. A 21-item Workplace Readiness Checklist was the core assessment tool. Quantitative and qualitative measures were used to identify 12 to 14 companies deemed most "ready for change." The four priority candidate companies decided against participation. A post hoc survey to evaluate reasons for non-participation identified factors such as time allocations, the deteriorating economic environment, and the participatory nature of the interventions proposed for half of the study sites. Differing priorities within management also seemed to interfere with participation. A highly structured process for determining corporate readiness for participatory health promotion produced contradictory results.

Inclusion Criteria Studies were included if they met the following criteria and did not meet any exclusion criteria: Any of the following study designs: interventional or observational. Any geographic location. Condition of interest: traumatic spinal cord injury in individuals age 13 or older. Study focus: bladder management. Case reports were set aside and given to the guideline development panel, but they were not extracted for inclusion in the database. Review articles published since 1980 were set aside for possible use in framing the discussion of findings in the systematic review. A complete list of these papers along with abstracts was provided to the guideline development panel for supplemental use in developing the guidelines. SEARCH YIELD The searches yielded 1,421 abstracts. When all the abstracts were download...
