Overview

PRISM has partnered with CJPIA and CPS HR to offer five (5) training courses which provide the building blocks to establish, develop and embed risk management as a business process in your public sector organization.  Click here for the description of all 5 courses.

This course provides an overview of disability management.

Specific information reviewed will include federal and, state laws and regulations, employer and third-party programs, employment practices law, prevention and wellness programs, vocational programs, and administrative case management practices. Case studies and practice scenarios will be included.
