Workers Compensation

ProcessPad for Managing Workers Compensation In 2002, employers in the USA spent nearly $350 billion on work-related injuries, and employees who got hurt on the job missed over 41 million days of work according to the U.S. Department of Labor report “The Workers Compensation Crisis.” ProcessPad enables you to build a streamlined business process for managing workers compensation. ProcessPad can guide you to efficiently automate the flow of documents between the people and systems involved in processing that employee’s claim and return to work. The process may involve many stakeholders and process executors, each performing discreet yet integral elements in the overall process. In the case of a pre-loss initiative, ProcessPad can also be used to manage activities related to the identification of risk-for-injury factors and the distribution of solutions to supervisors and health and safety implementers to help that employee avoid becoming injured in the first place. For example, one set of business processes might dictate how your company identifies at-risk individuals in its injury prevention program while another process is used to handle risk mitigation. Many leading-edge organizations, do have risk-based injury prevention business processes but these are in hard copy documentation and would not become companywide without a product like ProcessPad. A risk-based approach suggests that a company should first gain an understanding of the “sources of error” by using ProcessPad for the discovery of which employees / roles are at the highest risk of injury and then identifying and applying remedies, and prioritizing remedies for the highest risk employees first. The most valuable process is the one that automates how you identify and mitigate risk as these will significantly decreased the severity and cost of injuries over time.
