A 32-year-old qualified nurse from Lucerne suffered severe hip pain after a riding accident. The hospital diagnosis was a possible bone contusion and soft tissue injury, which ledto a prescription for four weeks of total incapacity to work.
The doctor contacted the nurse on the second day after the accident. Through a detailed analysis of her work profile and in close consultation with the employer, alternative activities were identified that avoided strain on the hip. In addition, the working hours were adjusted to take account of the longer travel time due to the use of crutches.
Thanks to the rapid intervention and the adapted working conditions, impressive results were achieved, which benefited both the nurse and the company:.
This success story impressively demonstrates how proactive action and tailored support can not only promote rapid recovery, but also save considerable costs for companies.
