Agenda

7:30 am - 8:45 am	Registration / Continental Breakfast
8:30 am - 8:45 am	Welcome Introductions
8:45 am - 10:30 am	Expanding the Benefits for First Responders - Florida’s 2007 legislative session introduced a significant new W/C law that provides an unprecedented expansion of benefits as Florida joins California as the only states in the nation to provide “mental/mental” benefits...but in Florida only for first responders. NCCI predicts lots of litigation over this one. What do you think? (Speaker: Dennis Ross, Legislator and Former Chair, House Insurance Committee and a distinguished panel!)
10:30 am - 11:00 am	Sponsored Break
11:00 am - 12:00 am	Wound Care: Managing Post Trauma Infections - Ensuing complications and infections from an initial injury can create complications that result in a more serious injury and disability than the initial trauma itself. This session will provide an overview of the latest treatment protocols for wound care. (Speaker: To be Announced)
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm	Sponsored Lunch
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm	Ethical Dilemmas for the Rehabilitation Professional - This session explores the challenges that rehab professionals face as they try to serve their many masters: the injured workers, the case managers, the adjusters and attorneys. What would YOU do in their place? Click here for a downloadable PDF document containing all of the relevant Codes of Ethics for ABVE, Adjuster, ARN, CCM, CDMS, CRC, CVE and IARP. (Speaker: Professor Richard Celestino, Florida Atlantic University)
2:00 pm - 2:30 pm	Afternoon Stretch and Door Prizes
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm	Workplace Violence in Healthcare: Prevention, Response & Recovery - Violence on the job has become an increasingly serious problem in a healthcare environment. It grows more unstable and unpredictable every day. This workshop provides practical training for clinicians, case managers, and adjusters in dealing with workplace violence. (Speaker: Dr. Laurence Miller, Licensed Psychologist)
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm	Maintaining Balance - Some people live to work, while others work to live. Some people focus on family and relationships, while others strive to accumulate status, wealth or fame. Is there a way to have it all, or is it a myth? Maintaining a healthy balance is one of our greatest challenges, especially in the workers’ compensation claims industry. (Speaker: Scott Brook, Attorney and Mayor, Coral Springs, FL)
4:30 pm	Adjournment
