AMA Guides to Functional Capacity Evaluations

authoritative guidance, practical information, and rationales for proper use of AMA Guides July/August 2020
Almost everyone is aware of the presence of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) illness, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Classifying COVID-19 as an occupational illness is controversial, with several US states passing legislation granting the rebuttable presumption of causation by workplace exposure to some occupations (healthcare workers, first responders, etc).
AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Work Ability and Return to Work
This book was written to help fellow physicians think through helping patients with return-to-work decisions when persisting symptoms and problems from illness or injury make work difficult.
AMA Guides to Disease and Injury Causation
A source to provide a medically reasonable explanation of apportionment designed to assist physicians, healthcare providers, ancillary services, legal and legislative agencies in determining individual causation for injury and work-related conditions using an evidence-based approach.
