October 7, 2026 – Artificial intelligence is helping workers’ compensation claims professionals spend less time on paperwork, but determining whether those savings translate into better outcomes for injured workers remains a challenge, industry experts say.
Rising Medical Solutions’ 2025 Workers’ Compensation Benchmarking Study, released in late September, found that 58% of respondents using predictive modeling and AI-driven analytics reported improved frontline staff efficiency or effectiveness. However, 28% had not assessed those gains and 35% had not assessed the effect on claim closure outcomes.
October 5, 2026 – The highest-performing claims organizations in workers’ compensation aren’t chasing different ideas than everyone else. They’re investing in the same things: A.I., automation, workflow redesign, a better experience for their people. What separates them is what happens after the plan gets approved.
That’s the central finding of Rising Medical Solutions’ 2025 Workers’ Compensation Benchmarking Study. The share of organizations reporting claims closure ratios of 101% or better rose to 36%, up from 30% in the prior study. And those higher performers aren’t winning on easier claims. They’re more likely to carry heavier concentrations of active indemnity claims.
September 28, 2026 – Higher-performing claims organizations achieve strong results by executing common industry priorities effectively rather than by managing simpler claim inventories, according to Rising Medical Solutions study.
September 24, 2026 – Chicago, IL – Rising Medical Solutions today announced the release of its 13th annual Workers’ Compensation Benchmarking Study Report. The newly published report reveals that higher performing workers’ compensation claims organizations are not necessarily distinguished by different priorities, but by how effectively they execute them. While many organizations are investing in similar workforce, technology, and operational initiatives, the study findings show significant differences in how those investments are translated into measurable results.
Based on a nationwide survey of claims leaders that was conducted in late 2025, the 2025 Report explores a question facing many payers: Why do organizations pursuing similar priorities achieve such varied outcomes? Using the study’s signature comparison of Higher Performers (organizations with claim closure ratios of 101% or greater) and Lower Performers (100% or below), the latest findings point to a consistent answer: the greatest performance differences emerge through execution.
