Indulge us for a minute as we toot our own horn. We’re pleased and honored to once again be named to the LexisNexis Top 25 Blogs for Workers’ Compensation and Workplace Issues.
Now in its ninth year, the Workers’ Comp Insider is among a handful of blogs that are consistently thorough, edgy, provocative, and accurately informative. The blog covers comp issues, risk management, business insurance, and workplace health and safety across the nation. The blog’s quality can easily be seen in two recent offerings: “Triaging Trouble: Predictive Modeling in Claims Management (October 4, 2011), which discusses the use of systematic modeling by risk management consultants, TPAs and insurers to identify injured workers who are most at-risk of delayed recovery or malingering, and “Wide disparity in costs for common medical procedures” (July 6, 2011), which points out that because of the lack of transparency in the level of health care costs, the cost of an abdominal CT scan might be $1200 at one hospital and yet only $300 in a clinic or doctor’s office in a nearby town.
A good part of this honor is in the company that we keep. We are pleased to find so many of our valued colleagues named, too – Joe Paduda, Roberto Ceniceros, Bob Wilson, and Peter Rousmaniere. Plus, we were happy to see The Weekly Toll, a blog that reminds us why most of us are in this business in the first place – to keep the human toll from climbing.
We’re also happy to find many blogs that are new to us on the list – we’ll be exploring them and encourage you to do so, too! Our congratulations to all our fellow work comp bloggers!
We thank the folks at LexisNexis for the honor – particularly Ted Zwayer and Robin Kobayashi, who deserve their own award for the valuable contributions that they make to furthering workers comp blogging and the online workers comp community. It’s gratifying to see so many excellent workers comp blogs thriving today – it was a far different environment back in 2003. The shared resources, news and opinions help to make us all better at what we do.
Support your work comp bloggers!
