## The report answers a medical question, not your question

You need to know whether this person can do these duties, and for how long. What comes back is a diagnosis and a prognosis. Human resources cannot act on it, and the accommodation stalls.

- The report does not name the duties you asked about.
- Restrictions are vague or open-ended.
- You do not know what medical information you may lawfully hold.
- The return-to-work date slips with no record of why.
- Every request restarts the paperwork.

## What IMECore does about it

### Ask about duties, not diagnoses

The referral form asks for the job duties. The report answers against them.

### Restrictions with dates

Each restriction carries a scope and a review date, so the accommodation has an end and a next step.

### The right amount of medical detail

The employer view shows capability and restriction. Clinical detail stays with the parties entitled to see it.

### One record per request

Consent, questions, exam, report, and follow-up sit on one case.

### Repeat requests reuse the file

A review assessment opens against the original case and carries the history forward.

### A trail for a grievance

The audit log shows what was asked, what was disclosed, and when.

## Questions people ask

### What medical information do we receive?

Capability and restriction, not diagnosis, unless the employee consents to more. The employer view is limited by role.

### Can our occupational health provider run this?

Yes. Give them a coordinator role on the case and they run the file.

### Do you handle union grievance requests?

IMECore records who asked, what was disclosed, and when. Use the audit log export in the grievance file.

### How fast can we get an assessment?

That depends on the panel and the specialty. The case shows a committed report date from the day it opens.

### Which provinces do you cover?

All of them. Consent language, tax, and retention rules follow the province on the case.
