King of Prussia, Pa. (March 4, 2024) – MedRisk, the nation’s largest managed care organization dedicated to the physical rehabilitation of workers’ compensation patients, unveiled its 2024 Industry Trend Report today. The report offers an analysis of physical therapy utilization and outcomes within the broader U.S. healthcare system, shedding light on opportunities for improvement and innovation within workers’ compensation.

"By extending our gaze beyond the confines of workers' compensation and tapping into the wealth of research and experience within the broader U.S. healthcare system, our 2024 report aims to share valuable insights that can drive positive change for injured employees and claims payers,” said Brian Peers, Vice President of Clinical Services and Provider Management.

In the 2024 Industry Trends Report, MedRisk examines data from the broader healthcare market to see where the use of physical therapy over treatment alternatives is delivering positive clinical and economic benefits and what the industry can learn by looking at decades of MedRisk’s own data.

MedRisk’s report also looks at psychosocial factors influencing recovery and provides the workers’ compensation industry with a helpful framework when evaluating digital MSK tools.

In the report, readers will learn:

  • How systems outside of workers’ compensation are viewing physical therapy
  • Where speed to PT plays into overall financial and medical outcomes
  • How a patient’s initial psychological state impacts recovery time
  • The best way to view emerging digital MSK innovations in physical therapy
