简要总结
Long-term sick leave is a challenge in Norway, and the healthcare and labor- and welfare services are often not coordinated in helping the sick-listed employees return to work. In this study, the investigators want to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention where an expert team provides advice for an individualized patient pathway based on information from a digital questionnaire and a video meeting with the sick-listed employee and the participant's general practitioner. The patient pathway should include both healthcare and labor- and welfare services measures.
Sick-listed patients with musculoskeletal- and/or common mental disorders are invited to join the study. They will receive a digital questionnaire and be randomized to either treatment as usual or personalized advice from an expert team. The team will be put together based on the response from the individual's questionnaire.
The investigators will evaluate the effect on return to work and the use of health care services 12 months after the intervention.

盲法说明
It is not possible to blind the participants or the care providers. As the investigators also will be care providers in this study, they will also have knowledge of the allocation.
After the intervention, all data will be depersonalized and the name and other identifiers will be replaced by a study number. The outcome will be collected from national registries and the merging of data will be done by a statistician in the labor- and welfare administration who is not involved in the assessment of data. This allows the researchers to be blinded when they analyze the data.
