3 The mission Establish a RTW-project on a national scale Base the project on previous national and international projects and on existing literature Include persons with all kinds of diagnoses Secure the implementation of a RTW-model in at least 20 municipalities across the country Dertermine whether the RTW-model reduces sickness leave and improves RTW Funded with 32,5 mio. EUR (+ 6.6 mio. EUR) from the national Prevention Fund Funded with additional 4,5 mio. EUR (+ 0,66 mio. EUR) from the Ministry of Employment More than sick listed persons will participate in the program

4 The structure of RTW in the municipalities Social insurance officers determine if a person is entitled to sickness benefit pay for sickness benefits longer than three weeks categorize and follow-up on sick-listed beneficiaries according to their chance to RTW draw-up reintegration plans for RTW, initiate RTW-activities and coordinate efforts with health professionals and employers

5 The structure of RTW in the municipalities Assessments of sick-listed persons 1) likely to RTW within three months 2) unlikely to fully RTW within three months, but able to participate in RTW-activities 3) unlikely to RTW within three months and unable to participate in any RTW-activities
