The Trust is excited to announce the addition of new features to our web site. The changes primarily consist of new links and tools; and since the main content and look of the web site is similar, users should have no problem with the new navigation items. The new features are outlined below.
Additions to our Home page
Our home page now offers links to Professional Affiliations that are relevant to our members. These associations have partnered with the Trust to ensure our mutual members have the best service.
We've added a new section called "Safe Lifting News" which will offer articles and information on topics related to safe lifting. This section will also have a direct link to 'Liko' a company that develops, manufactures and markets patient lifts, such as mobile lifts and overhead lift systems. Also added were links to provide information on current events at the Trust.
Quick Links have been added. Members will now have access to claims data and historical loss runs. The available reports are: Historical Loss Report,
Policy Year Summary Report, Injured Worker Claim Summary (previously called Claim Abstract),
Injured Worker File Notes, and Injured Worker Payment History.
Members can run the Historical Loss Run Report using policy period and claim status filters. For example, a member can run the report listing all claims for all policy periods, or only open claims for a specific policy period.
The content of The Historical Loss Run Report remains unchanged; however, there are small formatting changes. The data which populates all the reports will be available as of the prior days claim activity.
Each user that needs access to the reports section of our website must first complete a confidentiality agreement. Once this is completed a user name and password will be issued. All current passwords for the current on-line reports will become invalid at the end of December. More details will be sent in a mailing to members.
Beginning January 2, 2007, the Trust in partnership with FirstNet Learning, a leader in e-learning solutions, will offer courses on-line through the Trust Website. The Trust On-Line University, another new link, will offer courses in Human Resource Management, Defensive Driving and Health and Safety. Employees can learn at their own pace and place, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Injured Workers area
This is a new tab that the Trust is currently working on. It will be available at a future date and have information to help injured workers better understand the workers compensation system—rights and responsibilities.
