AMA Guides: Sixth Edition

The Sixth Edition of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, published December 2007, defines the new standard for assessing impairment. It is essential that you and your colleagues understand the profound impact of this innovative approach based on the terminology and analytical framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The Sixth Edition reflects the most significant evolution in impairment assessment. A diagnosis-based grid has been developed for each organ system with five classes of impairment severity, based on consensus-based dominant criterion.

This Edition reflects an innovative approach to defining impairment - one designed to enhance the relevancy of ratings, improve consistency, promote greater precision and simplify the rating process.  You need to learn how the Sixth Edition will profoundly affect you, your organization, and your field.
