What To Do When You've Hit Maximum Medical Improvement

from Injured Workers' Questions & Answers · host Gary Kaplan

In today's podcast episode, we're talking about maximum medical improvement (MMI), a term used in the medical field to describe the point at which a patient's medical condition has stabilized and is unlikely to improve significantly with further medical treatment. It is important to determine whether a person's injuries have reached a state of maximum medical improvement before determining their level of permanent impairment and the extent of compensation they may be entitled to and then how to shift to rehabilitation, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other therapies designed to help the patient regain function and adapt to any permanent disabilities. Get the expert's opinion today on the Injured Workers' Questions & Answers podcast as Gary Kaplan reviews what to do when you've hit maximum medical improvement and what legal steps to take. En el episodio de podcast de hoy, hablaremos acerca de la "mejoría médica máxima" o "maximum medical improvement (MMI)", un término utilizado en el campo médico para describir el punto en el que la condición médica de un paciente se ha estabilizado y es poco probable que mejore significativamente con más tratamiento médico. Es importante determinar si las lesiones de una persona han alcanzado un estado de mejoría médica máxima antes de determinar su nivel de discapacidad permanente y el alcance de la compensación a la que puedan tener derecho, y luego cómo cambiar a la rehabilitación, que incluye terapia física, terapia ocupacional y otras terapias diseñadas para ayudar al paciente a recuperar la función y adaptarse a cualquier discapacidad permanente.
