SANCHEZ-GALAN, Luis; BAIDES-GONZALVO, Pilar; REGAL-RAMOS, Raúl  and  HERREROS-PORTOLES, Gema. Current considerations on individual and collegiate medical discharge in the evaluation of the temporary disability benefit of one year, in the medical field of the National Social Security Institute. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2023, vol.69, n.271, pp.124-131.  Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0465-546x2023000200006.

Royal Decree-Law 2/2023, of March 16, on urgent measures to expand the rights of pensioners, simplifies the actions that lead to medical discharge in workers who remain in a situation of temporary disability between one year and one year and medium duration. Although it can be efficient in many cases, in temporary disability processes of special complexity, the fact of losing the work of a collegiate team such as the Disability Assessment Team could make it difficult to make effective, fair, and efficient decisions.

The definition of these particularly complex processes is explained and the need to make a series of labor data available to the medical inspector to improve the decision-making process regarding medical discharge, as well as legally open the possibility of work in team to evaluate certain assumptions.

Keywords : Evaluative Medicine; work incapacity; disability Assessment Teams.
