OpenClaw for Occupational Health Clinics: Automating Employer Fitness-for-Work Reports

OpenClaw for Occupational Health Clinics: Automating Employer Fitness-for-Work Reports

Occupational health (OH) medicine has a distinctive documentation burden. Unlike general practice, where clinical notes are primarily for the clinical record, OH practitioners produce reports that go to employers, workers' compensation insurers, workplace rehabilitation providers, and sometimes legal proceedings. These reports must be structured, precise, and written in language that non-clinicians can understand and act on.

An OH physician or nurse practitioner may write 10–20 such reports per week. OpenClaw drafts the structured sections from clinical notes, reducing report-writing from 45 minutes to 15 minutes per case.

Setting Up OpenClaw for an OH Clinic

```bash

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

openclaw onboard --install-daemon

```

Connect the Control UI or Slack. The OH clinician uses either interface to submit clinical summaries and receive drafted reports.

Fitness-for-Work Report Drafting

After an assessment, the clinician submits a summary and OpenClaw drafts the employer-facing report:

```

Skill: fitness-for-work-report

Trigger: clinician submits "FFW REPORT:" message with assessment summary

Prompt: "Draft a professional Fitness for Work report for an occupational health assessment. Use the following structure:

**Worker Details:** [from clinician input]

**Assessment Date:** [date]

**Assessing Clinician:** [name and credentials]

**Current Work Capacity:**

State clearly: 'Fit for full duties', 'Fit for modified duties', or 'Unfit for work'

If modified duties: specify exactly what the worker can and cannot do (lifting limits, standing tolerances, tasks to avoid, required work environment)

**Basis for Assessment:**

Brief clinical basis for the capacity determination — without disclosing confidential medical details. Focus on functional limitations, not diagnoses (unless the worker has consented to disclose).

**Recommended Return-to-Work Plan:**

If applicable, outline a graduated return-to-work schedule with specific milestones.

**Review Date:**

When the capacity should be reassessed.

**Recommendations for Employer:**

Any workplace modifications, equipment, or reasonable adjustments recommended.

Write in plain English. Avoid medical jargon. Do not include confidential clinical details beyond what is needed to support the capacity determination. Mark clearly as a draft for clinician review."

```

Workers' Compensation Progress Reports

For ongoing workers' compensation cases, regular progress reports are required for the insurer. OpenClaw tracks reporting schedules and drafts updates:

```

Skill: wc-progress-report

Schedule: triggered by case review calendar (weekly check on active cases)

Prompt: "Check the active workers' compensation cases. For any case where a progress report is due within 7 days, alert the case manager and draft a progress report template pre-populated with the worker's name, claim number, date of injury, body part/condition, and treating clinician. The clinician completes the clinical content section. Send the draft to the #oh-reports Slack channel for review."

```

Pre-Employment Medical Assessment Summaries

Pre-employment medical assessments generate a standard summary report for the hiring employer. OpenClaw produces consistent reports from the assessment checklist:

```

Skill: pre-employment-summary

Trigger: completed assessment checklist submitted by clinician

Prompt: "Generate a Pre-Employment Medical Assessment Summary for [Employer Name]. Include:

Do not disclose specific medical findings or diagnoses in the employer report. The employer is entitled to know capacity and fitness, not the medical details behind the determination. Flag any section where additional clinician input is required before the report is finalised."

```

Workplace Injury Trend Reporting

For OH contracts with large employers, monthly workplace health trend reports provide value-added insight. OpenClaw compiles this from the monthly data:

```

Skill: monthly-trend-report

Schedule: 0 8 1 * * (first of each month)

Prompt: "Compile the monthly occupational health trend report for [Employer Name]. From the month's assessment data: (1) Number and type of workplace injuries (body part, mechanism), (2) Lost-time injury rate, (3) Most common conditions requiring OH assessment, (4) Return-to-work outcomes (percentage successful RTW within 4 weeks), (5) Any emerging patterns requiring employer attention. Format as a 1-page executive summary with a trend comparison to the previous month. Send to the account manager for review before delivery to the employer."

```

What OH Clinics Report

Occupational health clinics using OpenClaw for report drafting report:

The clinical judgement — the capacity determination, the return-to-work plan, the medical recommendation — remains entirely the clinician's. OpenClaw handles the structured communication of that judgement to the employer.
