Successful management of compensable occupational disorders requires an understanding of both the medical and social models of illness. In addition to the usual roles of medical diagnosis and treatment, the physician must assume a number of hidden roles, including assessing job hazards, arriving at an opinion of work-relatedness, identifying unrealistic expectations and factors that may delay recovery, and identifying as early as possible when vocational rehabilitation is necessary. As a central member of the claims management team, the practising physician can contribute meaningfully to the employee's successful return to the work-force.
成功管理可补偿的职业性疾病需要理解疾病的医学模式和社会模式。除了医学诊断和治疗的常规职责外，医生还必须承担一些隐含的职责，包括评估工作危害、得出与工作相关性的意见、识别不切实际的期望和可能延迟康复的因素，以及尽早确定何时需要职业康复。作为理赔管理团队的核心成员，执业医生可以为员工成功重返工作岗位做出有意义的贡献。
