Patient Engagement in Workers’ Compensation

By on • ( 1 )

I had the humbling opportunity to write a piece for @WorkCompCentral’s #WorkCompWorld blog earlier this week. The theme is #PatientEngagement in #WorkersCompensation. Be sure to read the blog and share your thoughts on why, or why not, the industry is on the right track in this area. Please limit your remarks to #PatientEngagement as it pertains to #WorkComp.

As an aside, I’m ecstatic that the #CompLaudeGala is just a few days away. @ReedGroup is a sponsor of the #InjuredWorkerScholarship this year. I cannot wait to speak with as many #Patients / #Workers as possible. If you’re planning on attending the event, please help point me in the right direction! See you there!

A Case for National Standards for State Workers’ Compensation

In the Workers’ Compensation system, variances from one state to another seem endless. The source of variability is often the disparity in resources available to state regulators across jurisdictions. Is it reasonable to suggest that the varying availability of resources from state-to-state present limitations for regulators in their pursuit to appropriately research prospective public policy that will improve system outcomes?
Would establishing national standards help level the playing field for states having to make due with less available resources?
