Based on more than 15 years of research on workers’ compensation claims costs, Workers’ Compensation Claims Management provides the methodology necessary to correctly measure, compare, and predict claims costs for dynamic cohorts. The authors introduce the intervention methods needed to control costs, including cost-effective pain management, cost-effective injury treatment, and the cost-effectiveness of on-site clinics, as well as the use of scientific research in support of controlling costs.
