Injuries in the workplace have a major social and economic impact in modern society. The existing Employees' Compensation Ordinance in Hong Kong does not lay down management or return-to-work (RTW) arrangements for injured workers. As a result. there is a lack of effective management of injured workers at both the system and the individual worker level. The present study explores the effects of implementing a case management system using the existing practices of handling occupational injuries in Hong Kong. At the same time, this study tests the potential benefits of applying prospect theory by communicating accurate and appropriate information to workers to enhance their RTW outcomes. This thesis is composed of three independent but related studies. Study 1 is an archival study that reviews issues associated with the current practices of handling injured workers in Hong Kong with a focus on insurance companies and rehabilitation service providers. Study 2 is a quasi-experimental study examining the effects of implementing a small-scale case management system dealing with the cases of injured workers with a view to their RTW. Study 3 is an experimental study testing the effects of using the framing techniques detailed in prospect theory, which considers how wage- and pain-related information can modify the intention of a worker to return to work.

520 $a The present studies examine both the overall injury management system and the individual's perspective in the occupational rehabilitation process. Problems in the current management approach have been identified that make it ineffective and conducive to delays in the diagnosis and treatment of injured workers. The results support the need for establishing a systematic approach involving case management and early intervention. A comprehensive case management system should ensure that injured workers receive timely and effective healthcare services and should ensure good communication among all stakeholders. In particular, the psychological aspects of the cases of injured employees and their decision-making processes can be managed appropriately at different stages in their rehabilitation. The use of appropriately framed information may be an effective way to enhance the motivation and confidence to return to work in employees with occupational injuries.
