Dennis and Susan Isernhagen have years of positive working relationships with therapists, physicians, nurses, rehabilitation professionals, ergonomists and case managers in the occupational health field.

They have developed the “first” in many occupational rehabilitation programs including the first functional capacity assessment, the first functional job description, effective prework screening and post offer testing, work conditioning and work hardening, and functional ergonomics programs. Dennis created a model of employer-provider interaction that is the first and only of its kind. They founded previous businesses in work injury prevention and management.

The new DSI Work Solutions programs are a result of twenty years of working with healthcare professionals in multiple countries. Positive research on their methods produced a commitment to both reliability and validity of their work. Understanding and analyzing the needs of employers and workers led to the significant leap forward in assuring a fit between the work and the worker through post offer testing and return to work evaluations. The 2005 program, DSI Job Function Matching, brings together in a much simplified format, all the critical matching elements of jobs and worker capacities. It is heralded by employers, physicians, therapists, and case managers. In addition, a highly effective and reliable Functional Capacity Assessment is added for disability reduction.

Through DSI consulting and training, Dennis and Susan bring expanded relationship business to their healthcare customers. DSI providers form a national consortium of experts who bring job matching to workers and employers in the most effective means possible.
