Broker to Demo Risk Management Information System Willis DataWizeSM at National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference & Expo

Willis North America, a unit of Willis Group Holdings (NYSE: WSH), the global insurance broker, said today that it will be offering demonstrations of Willis DataWize^SM at the National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada November 10-12, 2010. In addition, Pamela Ferrandino, Executive Vice President and Willis North America Casualty Practice Leader, will participate in the National Workers’ Compensation Conference Executive Roundtable session.

Launched in April 2010, Willis DataWize^SM, powered by Riskonnect® is an innovative, enterprise-class risk management information system (RMIS) that gives companies of all sizes a better way to track, manage and control their risks and achieve better outcomes. The system is supported by the consulting services of the Willis Strategic Outcomes Practice, the claim, loss control and data analytics consulting services of Willis North America.

"Willis DataWize^SM responds to growing demand from clients for a technology solution that enables companies to aggressively manage their data and make better risk management decisions, particularly as the costs associated with workers’ compensation evolve and escalate,” said Dorien Smithson, Executive Vice President, Strategic Outcomes Practice, Willis North America.

"Currently, companies’ medical spend is the main driver of workers’ compensation costs, and we’re seeing a rise in expenses related to pharmacy, physicians, and physical therapy for example. Willis DataWize^SM provides sophisticated tools to identify, analyze and minimize these costs,” she said.

Willis DataWize^SM can also identify claim trends, while taking a macro and micro view of loss drivers. The system features dashboards, scorecards, automatic alerts, a cost allocation system, and sophisticated modeling and analytics capabilities. Intuitive point-and-click drilldowns allow users to easily navigate their data.

Pamela Ferrandino will participate in the National Workers’ Compensation Conference Executive Roundtable session Thursday, November 11, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. This prestigious panel will tackle some of the biggest issues currently facing organizations. Topics of discussion include selecting medical providers, measuring outcomes on workers compensation claims, balancing quality and cost, and the future of workers’ compensation claims handling.

"Although premiums remain soft for many workers’ compensation risks, managing medical costs and expenses continue to be a challenge, and require greater focus,” said Ferrandino. "Whether costs are bundled into insurance programs or unbundled to various service providers, its important for companies to emphasize transparency and focus on the delivery of outcomes, as these factors can really impact costs,” she said.
