And getting ready for the annual re-connect, see-who’s-where, find-out-what’s-new, separate-the-fluff-from-the-real confab.
Before diving into the meetings, presentations, and exhibit hall, here’s the first impression.
Mark Walls’ Work Comp Analysis Group is more than a presence here; Mark has done an impressive job putting together what has to be the largest collection of work comp people in the country. The various get-togethers, meet-ups, social events and roundtables arising out of the WCAG are a testament to the power of social networking.
I’m speaking on the impact of health reform (and related outside influences) on workers comp later today – the quick take is very little direct impact, but the indirect impact will be diverse and widespread, affecting everything from pharmacy costs to medical treatment expense to physician fee schedules to cost shifting behavior to information flows.
More later…
