WCRI Conference In Boston Offers Great Opportunity to Learn

February 5, 2014 By //  by Michael B. Stack Leave a Comment

“Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise” – Denis Waitley

Every year I attend a number of conferences, it is always a great opportunity to network, and more importantly, to learn. The workers compensation industry is constantly evolving and continuously learning from industry experts is a requirement, not just an option.

WCRI Conference – March 12-13 in Boston

The Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) is always one of my favorite conferences.  The will hold their Annual Issues & Research Conference on March 12-13, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts.  The theme of this year’s conference is “Upheaval in the Market for Health Care – Facts and Myths.”

For those that are not familiar with the Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI), they are an independent, not-for-profit research organization providing high-quality, objective information about public policy issues involving workers’ compensation systems

Their annual conference is considered a leading workers’ compensation forum that draws attendees from across the country who are seeking new insights, valuable networking contacts, and a better understanding of key issues in today’s competitive environment. Click on the following link to see who should attend: http://www.wcrinet.org/conference_who_14.html. 

Program

This year’s conference program has seven major components:

  • WCRI researchers present findings on medical cost drivers and worker outcomes of care.
  • Harry Shuford (NCCI) analyzes, “How the Economy Drives Workers’ Compensation.”
  • Alex Swedlow (CWCI) discusses, “The Form and Function of Medical Treatment Dispute Resolution.”
  • Professor Jon Gruber (MIT) and Dr. Richard Victor (WCRI) assess how health care reform will unfold, the impact on workers’ compensation, and which states will be most affected.
  • David North (Sedgwick), Donald Hurter (AIG) and Chris Cuniff (Liberty Mutual) form an expert panel that will peer into the future of workers’ comp and healthcare reform.
  • Dr. Sreekanth Chaguturu (Partners Healthcare) explains Accountable Care Organizations and how leading provider organizations are implementing them.
  • WCRI’s deputy director and counsel, Ramona Tanabe, and her CompScope™ colleagues present recent lessons from WCRI’s Core Benchmark Studies.
