Leveraging Tech and AI (With a Compassion) in Workers’ Comp Management

With the rise of artificial intelligence, it makes sense to think about the use of AI analytics in Workers’ Compensation case outcome management. What types of tools lead to efficient claim management, including shorter claim durations and better outcomes? Guest Ryan Murphy has spent his career understanding and developing case management systems. As vice president of product at the third-party Workers’ Comp benefits administrator CorVel Corporation, he works with clients and analyzes and develops solutions that remove friction and deliver successful resolutions for clients and work. We’ve come a long way from the days of “snail mail” and faxes. Today’s tech allows case management specialists to incorporate operational efficiency technology and help workers and employers resolve cases and get injured workers back to their lives.  But as Murphy explains, tech isn’t a replacement for human communication and compassion, it’s a partnership. Data analysis, data aggregation, and claim summarization can help human case managers reach better conclusions faster. Every industry is being transformed by emerging technologies, Workers’ Comp is no exception. Be a part of the future today.
