With health care facilities under increasing pressure to cut costs thanks to insurance reform initiatives and the impact of the recession, loss control programs to contain workers' compensation claims are more critical than ever, leading risk managers in the field contend.

"It is therefore imperative to implement effective risk management solutions that improve safety and limit the severity of injuries, control costs and reduce comp claims, while maintaining productivity and quality of care," Mr. Santulli added in introducing a panel discussion he moderated during last month's Workers' Compensation Educational Conference in Orlando.
