>Subject: [rehab] VR agency liability
>
>I hope someone can answer this... What is the role of a state run VR agency
>funded by RSA when a vocational goal may in fact not be the best batch and
>place others in harm's way??
> For instance imagine a schizophrenic placed by a contracted party but
>funded by VR known to have active delusions and auditory hallucinations in a
>position as a security guard (armed).
>Another example is a medical doctor with a brain tumor having lapses in
>judgment and some poor decision making needing a minor accommodation for the
>job site in the way of rehabilitation technology but the VR agency being
>aware that there are times on the job that the medical professional is in a
>disassociated state.
>Imagine the same  medical doctor being a surgeon and having intermittent
>hand tremors.
>The first instance is a new hire placed by a contacting employment agency
>hired by the VR agency the second is an existing job with a new risky
>disorder.
>The concern is harm to others.  Who has the legal liability and how is this
>handled without being a dream squasher?  VR agencies have a history of
>deciding for an individual what their limits are but also there is a concern
>for others in these instances.
>What about a individual with borderline intellect acting as a PCA for an
>elderly in a position that has no l
>icense for such healthcare work? Does anyone know any case studies and/or
>precedents?  Can someone direct me the right way?
