Come See Our Session
Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at 11:00 am
The new normal is here, and although it may be tempting to revert to pre-pandemic practices because of the familiarity and normality associated with long-established methods, many stakeholders are recognizing that some adaptations and changes forced by the pandemic are preferable to previous approaches. As a result, the insurance and benefits-delivery industry will likely demand the continuation of innovative alternatives. This session will discuss some of the technology which may help the workers’ compensation industry advance in remote practices.
