The W.O.R.K. Center at Tampa General Hospital is a facility accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities for work hardening and specializes in assisting injured workers in returning to work. The most successful diagnostic group has been the burn injury population referred from the Tampa Bay Regional Burn Center. Eleven patients with burn injuries with an average total body surface area of 20.7% were referred to the W.O.R.K. Center for evaluation and admission to The Work Hardening Program. Ninety-one percent returned to work after discharge from the program compared with a 60% return-to-work rate for the total work hardening population at this facility. The success of the program may be attributed to an early referral process and the emphasis on rehabilitation in treating the patient with burn injuries. Work hardening provides a structured, goal-oriented approach in preparing the patient with burn injuries to reenter the work force.
坦帕总医院的工伤康复中心是一家获得康复设施认证委员会认可的机构，专门从事工伤强化治疗，致力于帮助受伤工人重返工作岗位。最成功的诊断群体是来自坦帕湾地区烧伤中心的烧伤患者。11名平均全身表面积为20.7%的烧伤患者被转至工伤康复中心进行评估，并进入工伤强化治疗项目。该项目91%的患者在出院后重返工作岗位，而该机构工伤强化治疗患者的总体复工率为60%。该项目的成功可能归功于早期转诊流程以及在治疗烧伤患者时对康复的重视。工伤强化治疗为烧伤患者重新进入劳动力市场提供了一种结构化、目标导向的方法。
