📋 What Is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?

A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that measures an individual’s physical abilities after an injury. At Integrated Care, our FCEs help determine if someone is ready to safely return to work and what job tasks they can perform without risk.

Our FCEs Include:
✔ Strength & mobility testing
✔ Lifting, pushing, and pulling assessments
✔ Job-specific task simulation
✔ Detailed reporting for employers, case managers, and physicians
✔ Clear recommendations for return-to-work or additional rehab

Whether you’re recovering from a workplace injury or an employer needing reliable return-to-work guidance, our team provides accurate, objective evaluations you can trust.

🌟 What is a POET? Someone who writes poems? Good guess.

It's a Post Offer Employment Test.

At Integrated Care, we help employers make sure their new employees are physically ready for the job demands! A Post Offer Employment Test (POET) is a functional, job-specific test given after a candidate receives a job offer but before they begin work.

✅ Why it matters:

Ensures the employee can safely perform the essential physical demands of the job.

Reduces the risk of workplace injuries.

Helps employers place the right people in the right roles.

Protects both the employee and the company.

Think of a POET as a bridge between the hiring process and workplace safety. By confirming physical readiness, employers can build a healthier, safer, and more productive workforce.

👉 If your company is looking to strengthen hiring practices while reducing injuries and workers’ compensation claims, let’s talk about how Integrated Care can help.

✅ Fit for Work? Understanding the Difference Between Fit for Duty & Return to Work Exams

At Integrated Care, we’re often asked: What’s the difference between a Fit for Duty exam and a Return to Work exam? Here’s a quick breakdown:

🔹 Fit for Duty Exam

Purpose: Determines if an employee can safely perform the essential functions of their job.

Typical Uses:

Post-offer/pre-employment (before officially starting a role)

After an incident or when there are concerns about safety or ability

Safety-sensitive roles

Focus: Evaluates overall capability—strength, mobility, mental status, or other job-related functions.

🔹 Return to Work Exam

Purpose: Conducted after injury, illness, surgery, or medical leave to see if the employee can safely resume their specific job duties.

Typical Uses:

Workers’ compensation injuries

Medical/surgical leave

Determining restrictions or accommodations

Focus: Evaluates recovery from a specific condition and whether the employee can return to work, with or without restrictions.

⚖️ Key Distinction

Fit for Duty: Can this person safely do the job, in general?

Return to Work: Can this person safely resume their job after a medical issue?
