With workers’ compensation program success increasingly dependent on how data is used to take action, this pragmatic session looking at available decision-making tools is timely. The presenters will explain data analytics and how past information helps explain what happened, then focus on predictive modeling’s value for calculating future outcomes. You’ll learn about artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, and how those tools help look at current data to determine the best immediate action. Plus, you’ll hear an employer’s case study on the tools’ impact resulting from a comprehensive approach.
