Abstract
On page 331 of the July issue of the AAOHN Journal (Vol. 50, No.7), the following statement in the Counting Days Away and Restricted Days (§1904.7[b][3] and §1904.7[b][4]) section is incorrect.
However, if an employee is injured on Friday and advised to return to work with restrictions on Monday and full duty on Tuesday, the case should be recorded as 2 days away from work, even if the employee was not scheduled to work on Saturday or Sunday, and 1 restricted day for a total of 3 days in the 180 day count.
This statement has been corrected to read:
However, if an employee is injured on Friday and recommended by the health care provider to be off work on Saturday and Sunday and return to work on Monday with restrictions and full duty on Tuesday, the case should be recorded as 2 days away from work, even if the employee was not scheduled to work on Saturday and Sunday, and 1 restricted day for a total of 3 days in the 180 day count.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
