Better Communication, Better Outcomes: Let's Talk About It
Historic Davenport Hotel
10 S. Post Street, Spokane, Washington
8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Want smoother claims handling and better, faster outcomes for your injured workers? The data is clear – focus on improving communication from the beginning of the claim to the end, with all of the involved parties. At this conference, we’ll take a multidisciplinary look at some challenging issues in workers’ compensation communication. We’ll hear from experts in medicine, psychology, claims management, return to work, and more on how best to tailor our communications and set the right tone for success.
