Talent shortages —within both the workers’ compensation industry and health care organizations — still loom large, according to Risk & Insurance’s2023survey of 500 industry stakeholders, sponsored by Healthesystems. Here’s a look at the top 10challenges the survey identified.
Risk & Insurance sat down with Koonce at the 2023 National Comp conference in Las Vegas to discuss emerging trends and innovation within workers’ compensation claims handling. New technologies, Koonce said, are changing the way adjusters approach claims handling.
According to Dr. Silvia Sacalis, vice president of clinical services for Healthesystems, there are several current and evolving trends across workers’ comp medical management that bear watching, including how the decline in opioid prescribing is reshaping pharmacy costs in workers’ comp.
With the goal of driving efficiency for every stakeholder in the workers’ comp system, Concentra has embarked on the development of next-generation technology solutions to make claim navigation and information-sharing easier.
We hear about advances in medical care all the time, but when will we start seeing the impact? Will it be next year? In the next five years or 10 years? How about right now?
