For Patients & Customers

A spectrum of Occupational/Industrial health services available through the Human Performance Center at St. Alexius Medical Center includes:

• Job Function Analysis: identifies essential functions, functional requirements, ergonomic needs, education, training and equipment to safely perform a job.
• Job Function Description: written description developed from the Job Function Analysis that identifies the physical demands of a job. Validation includes delineation of the essential functions of a job. Function testing used both for post offer testing and return to work.
• Functional Capacity Assessment: physical task testing to determine an individual’s overall safe work ability.
• Job Function Match: compares the abilities of the worker to the job, indicating tasks when full ability is present and tasks that do not match the individual worker’s ability.
• Work Site Appraisals: physical assessment of the work site to evaluate safety, comfort and efficiency of the work environment. Identifies areas where changes will reduce the physical stressors and thus reduce risk of injury and recommendations may be made for modifications of the work, worker or work environment.
• Safe Work Education and Training: preventative safety training linked to specific job requirements, or general safe work topics.
