This article defines the workers' compensation system, including injury statistics and reasons for spiraling costs and suggests to employers ways to manage this risk in an effort to achieve both employee satisfaction and decreased financial liability. As key components of the system, physicians are educated as to how the system works and encouraged to become active participants in helping promote employee well-being.
