Powering People With Technology To Close Gaps Across The Life Of A Claim

The U.S. health care system is comprised of many independent silos — primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies, labs and more.

Add to the mix the variable regulations and requirements of workers’ comp insurance and you have a complex environment that makes the efficient flow of communication challenging.

Important pieces of information can be lost in the gaps between silos, causing delays, misdirected treatment, unnecessary costs, and compromised care.

Risk & Insurance® sat down with thought leaders across the Healthesystems organization to talk about the failed connections that can create obstacles to timely and effective care for injured workers, the latest solutions to address and prevent information and communication gaps, and the drive for a more thoughtful synergy between people and technology.
