The purpose of this study was to explore rehabilitation policies after work injuries in New South Wales, Germany, California, and Japan, through the internet and literature review. After collecting and analyzing the information, recommendations were made to improve rehabilitation policies for people with work injuries in Taiwan. All reviewed countries included the following policies in order to return injured individuals to work effectively: (1) all countries had immediate work injury reporting and a comprehensive case management system; (2) the rehabilitation of people with work injuries was medically driven and focused on early intervention and return to work; and (3) to facilitate the process, all governments required the employers' participation in the rehabilitation process and enforced regulations regarding job retention after injury. Suggestions for improving rehabilitation policies for people with work injuries in Taiwan include (1) adopting a model of rehabilitation network for people with work injuries; (2) reinforcing work injury reporting and the case management system; and (3) enforcing workplace rehabilitation programs and encouraging employers to hire people with work injuries. Future studies on the rehabilitation of people with work injuries were also suggested.
