Identifying social determinants of health to assist in recovery and return to work

Case managers have long known the importance of getting to know an injured employee and their family on a more intimate level. They understand that observing the “whole person,” helps to identify factors such as economic stability, home life, and access to healthy food. And they are keenly aware that these aspects of a person’s life, also known as social determinants of health, have a significant influence on recovery and return to work. During this session, we’ll focus on defining social determinants of health, the conditions in which an individual lives, works, learns and plays, and discuss how to align a care management approach to address these non-medical barriers.

Guide to Selecting an Electronic Payments Vendor

The workers’ compensation and auto casualty industries today are still in most cases, bogged down by paper. While it can be challenging to transition a claims operation to digital, removing paper from the claims process can provide many benefits, including improving data quality, efficiencies and effectiveness, and can help payors comply with current state regulations and adapt to future regulations. One highly effective and relatively simple method to move toward a paperless approach is implementing an electronic payment system to create a medical claims workflow where payment, fulfillment, remittance and filings can help carriers eliminate paper checks and the administrative processes and costs that come with them.
