HALIFAX, N.S. – The Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova Scotia (WCB) has launched a pilot program to determine the best resources for managing injured workers’ concussions and to establish a new protocol for them. According to a WCB news release, workers with new concussion injuries in Nova Scotia are now being directed to one of three clinics – either CORE, Lifemark or CBI – for treatment. The program, which began on Feb. 1, is a result of research by Dr. Paul Eagan, the WCB’s chief medical officer. Each of the three clinics has a full-time occupational therapist and is accessible across the province, the WCB stated. “Workers who sustained an injury prior to February 1 and are currently being treated for concussion-related injuries will continue with their current service provider and treatment program,” the release added.
