Three things to look for on your IPR

Individual Performance Reports can be found in RiskConsole in your "Organization" tab under the "Journal" section. Once you understand the information in the IPR, you can use the data in safety committee meetings, or educate management on the importance of transitional work and effective reporting policies.

The Individual Performance Reports (IPR) is divided into four quadrants. Let’s delve into three quadrants and see what data you can use (and how!) right away.

Quadrant 1 – Claims data

Quadrant 1 is in the top left and contains your claims data for the current year. At a quarter of the way through the year, your claim costs should be 17.5% or lower. If above 17.5%, you are trending to end the year higher than the 70% benchmark. Keeping your claim costs below 70% each year will save your jurisdiction costs by lowering your premiums and those members in the Pool become eligible for a performance refund.

Quadrant 2 – SAW utilization and reimbursement totals

Quadrant 2 is your Stay at Work (SAW) utilization and reimbursement totals per year. This data shows the number of time loss claims (claims with greatest impact to your rates) and how well your organization has utilized transitional/light duty work. The percentage of claims with reimbursements should be at or above 35% of the number of time loss claims each year. Retro staff are here to help facilitate transitional work and educate management on the importance of providing transitional work for those employees injured on the job and restricted from performing the full duties of their job of injury.

Quadrant 3 – Reporting lag

The third quadrant is your reporting lag. This is calculated by counting the number of days from date of injury to when it is reported to AWC. The quicker your employees report an injury to your organization and then report to AWC, the lower the lag. Quick reporting enables you to mitigate further injuries, correct a hazard to prevent other injuries, and most importantly to begin the process of return to work after an injury.
