Workers comp claims systems survey – the podcast is up

Last year we completed the first annual Survey of Workers Comp Claims Systems; the report was published last fall, and Sandy Blunt’s interview with PropertyCasualty360 on the survey is now up and available.
Here are three of the highlights from Sandy’s talk with PC360 with Editor Eric Gilkey:
“One of the most significant findings was a large disconnect between the front-line staff and the executives on whether or not their current system was fully integrated with their bill review and utilization review system,” he said. “While 80 percent of front-line users were clear that there was no full integration between claims and bill/utilization review, 60 percent of executives said they were integrated.”

“Both front-line staff and executives were very clear: They want a better full integration — not pieces and parts– but a full integration and no more smoke and mirrors.”

“When we asked respondents, in their view, who was the leading claims system vendor, the number one answer was, ‘I do not know.'”
