Embassy Suites Bellevue
3225 158th Avenue SE, Bellevue, Washington
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Registration and Breakfast at 7:30 a.m.)
Spring Conference traditionally focuses on medical management and disability prevention in workers' compensation, and this year's program explores a multidisciplinary spectrum from physical rehabilitation and fatigue in the workplace, to complex medical syndromes and traumatic brain injuries. We’ll also hear updates from the Office of the Medical Director on the pilot programs allowing acupuncture and master-level therapists, as well as the work being done in the provider review and credentialing process to improve outcomes and reduce risk of harm. We'll focus some time on current events in workers' comp public policy and the implementation of Rules Modernization. Join our panel of medical experts and public policy leaders for a day of high quality continuing education and networking!
