Background: Effective communication has been demonstrated to impact patient health outcomes, specifically in improving symptom resolution, safety, function, and emotional well-being, and to lower malpractice claims. I hypothesized that the communication process with patients with Workers' Compensation is inadequate.
Methods: Prospectively, claimants presenting for an independent medical evaluation or an impairment rating were assessed concerning the education that they received with regard to their claim.
