Experience

Incorporated in 1992, CVS has established itself in the Ottawa area as a provider of quality, thorough and defensible assessments for the insurance industry, the legal profession, case management companies, employers and The Workplace Safety
and Insurance Board. Assessments are conducted to determine the presence of impairments and/or disabilities and to provide treatment recommendations to address impairments and/or to facilitate reintegration into work and daily living.

CVS has provided assessments for all impairment types including musculoskeletal injuries, psychological impairments, brain impairments, and spinal cord injuries.

Over the years CVS has expanded its services, in alliance with other service
providers, to offer a full range of occupational rehabilitation consultations, vocational assessments, disability assessments, and independent medical and rehabilitation examinations. CVS provides a thorough assessment of the individual with a view to assisting the person's re-integration into the labour market, family and social life.

In addition to providing evaluations that assess an individual's rehabilitation needs and his/her ability to perform work or modified work, CVS is able to help employers to identify strategies that will facilitate a person's return to work, which serves to reinforce the self reliance of workers and employers to manage the consequences of injuries when they do happen, and the overall impact of the injuries on the individual's life.

CVS also conducts ergonomic assessments and has provided such services to government departments, banks and the high tech sector.
