CM3 | Minimizing Lost Time: Defining Key Stakeholder Roles and Interaction (Room Islander B-C)

The amount of time injured workers remain away from work frequently determines the economic gravity of workplace accidents. It’s not the accident’s severity nor the injured body part that always determines length of time off. It is how the injury is managed by the patient, doctor, employer and claims administrator. Therefore, implementing effective return-to-work solutions requires coordination among those stakeholders. Drawing from years of industry leadership roles, the presenters will share practical strategies for defining key stakeholders’ roles and the interaction needed for a successful return-to-work environment.
