Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To investigate potential savings obtained from restoring productivity in employees with chronic MSK pain through a digital care program (DCP).

METHODS

Secondary analysis of a prospective longitudinal study assessing cumulative savings overall or across several industry sectors by analyzing changes in Work Productivity and Activities Impairment (WPAI questionnaire).

RESULTS

Employees from 50 U.S. states started the program ( n = 5032). Significant improvements in productivity impairment were observed across all industries, yielding median cumulative savings from $151 (95% confidence interval [CI], 128-174) to $294 (95% CI, 286-303) per participant at treatment end. Twelve-month projections estimated median savings of $2916 (95% CI, 2861-2972). Additionally, significant improvements in non-work-related daily activities were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

This study underlines the burden of MSK-related productivity loss on employers' financial balance, illustrating the importance of a DCP to assist patients to recover quality of life and succeed professionally.

摘要

目的

通过数字护理计划（DCP）恢复慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛员工的生产力，以调查潜在的节省。

方法

对一项前瞻性纵向研究进行二次分析，通过分析工作生产力和活动障碍（WPAI 问卷）的变化，评估整体或多个行业部门的累计节省情况。

结果

来自美国 50 个州的员工开始了该计划（n = 5032）。所有行业的生产力障碍均有显著改善，每位参与者在治疗结束时的累计节省中位数从 151 美元（95%置信区间 [CI]，128-174）到 294 美元（95% CI，286-303）不等。12 个月的预测估计中位数节省为 2916 美元（95% CI，2861-2972）。此外，非工作相关日常活动的改善也很明显。
