CTIS INTERPERSONAL SKILLS Michele Molinario - Jones, Skelton & Hochuli, P.L.C. Derek Graffious - Jones, Skelton & Hochuli, P.L.C.

ACA - DEAD OR ALIVE? PRMS REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Margaret Penado, CPCU, ARM-P, APA, Master of Administration - Coconino County, AZ After the Affordable Care Act was fully deployed in 2014, political action has abounded to overturn its broad sweeping requirements. This presentation will examine where are we now with the most recent legislation on the ACA, and provide an overview of the remaining requirements and potential penalties for employers. This seminar will also examine the elements of the ACA which make it so difficult to repeal or replace, recent court activity, and pending legislation.

CONTRACT REVIEW: UNDERSTANDING HIDDEN COSTS IN HEALTHCARE CTIS DECISION-MAKING

Belva Hale - Sherrill Morgan A contract or administrative services agreement is a necessity for every employer, but these documents can range from a hundred to a few hundred pages. Are you, as an employer, reading every word? Are you asking the right questions when in negotiations?

Are there hidden costs in these contracts that you might not be familiar with? This session will explain what questions to ask when receiving contracts, which fees are being paid, and what might be hidden costs in these contracts.

HOW BENEFITS DECISIONS IMPACT RISK MANAGEMENT PRMS RISK CONTROL Terri Evans - City of Kingsport, TN Belva Hale - Sherrill Morgan Even if we are fully insured in all lines under our risk management umbrella, each one of us will have to work on a variety of claims on behalf of our entity and some will rise to the level of a lawsuit. This session will cover the whats, hows, and whys of claims management for governmental professionals, from the fully insured to the self-funded to captives.

We will also discuss current social media trends and the impact on our claims, as well as communication with affected departments, preparation for mediation and litigation, and helping leadership understand the intricacies and pitfalls of public discussions regarding claims.

Gallagher Sponsoring an Employee Benefits Plan(s) creates certain risks and exposures for the plan sponsor. Compliance and non-discrimination are high visibility areas of concern, but there are other areas – with even more exposure – that go either undetected or uncontrolled.

In this session all areas of the employee benefits plan(s) will be reviewed from design, funding, audit, regulatory and compliance, and eligibility.

IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH ON ABSENCE MANAGEMENT PRMS RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS Bryon Bass - Sedgwick Is your employee unqualified or depressed? Not knowing the difference could cost you.

The signs of a mental health condition can be misleading and are often misconstrued as an employee putting little to no effort into their job. Discover common indicators of a mental health condition and how managers often misinterpret them, leading to confusion, weakened morale and, in extreme cases, litigation. Learn your responsibilities under the ADA and how you can create a supportive environment for employees facing mental health conditions.

Best Practices in Pool Loss Control Keys to Success: Performance Indicators for Pools Pool Information Exchange The Evolution of Public Entity Pooling BEST PRACTICES IN POOL LOSS CONTROL

PRMS RISK /LOSS CONTROL Michael Fann, ARM-P, MBA - Public Entity Partners George Dalton, ARM-P, MCM - Public Entity Partners There’s no question that an effective loss control effort is an essential step in the risk management process. All too often, the risk pool management attempts to launch loss control & safety programs before substantially defining the “why”… in other words, knowing the mission of the effort, and fully understanding the business philosophy behind that mission. This session highlights the need to “get your thinking right” and then establish your program. This session examines the need to build a framework for success and then identifying the people that can help accomplish the mission. Finally, this session will help you prioritize your efforts, and work to identify root causes of accidents.

KEYS TO SUCCESS: PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR POOLS CTIS STRATEGIC PLANNING/MANAGEMENT Michelle Carter - Tandem Collective Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) is both art and science, and don’t always come easily, but the right KPIs will help you measure and report on success to your board and stakeholders, as well as signaling when it’s time to make changes.

Learn how you can apply them to your own member-centric operations.

Today, pools prove to be a viable risk alternative for 85% of public entities nationwide, providing not only quality, customized coverage, but claims administration, loss control, and other member-focused services. Explore pooling’s past and future to better understand how pools will continue to serve their members.

Interaction of Actuarial Reports and Financial Statements Securing Insurance Coverage for Wrongful Conviction Lawsuits Should a Captive Be in Your Future?

State of the Market - Liability Hot Topics The Secrets Behind Successful OCIPs BUT I HAVE TORT CAPS AND IMMUNITIES, RIGHT?

PRMS INSURANCE KNOWLEDGE AND APTITUDE Timothy Corrigan - Travelers In an increasingly litigious environment, public entities face significant potential liability exposures, just as their private counterparts do. However, public entities have an advantage, the ability to assert various immunities and tort cap defenses to limit the extent of their exposure. But what happens when these immunities and tort caps are found not to apply? Enhance your understanding of the evolution of these doctrines, when and how they apply, and to recognize their potential limitations so you can be better prepared to deal with exposures.

REDUCING JAIL RISKS THROUGH IMPROVED RISK MANAGEMENT ENGAGEMENT PRMS RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Mike Eady - Travelers David Karamessinis - Travelers Jails and correctional facilities face unique liability exposures. Unfortunately, the application of fundamental management principals and their role in reducing liability is often overlooked in the rapidly changing correctional environment. Compounding this challenge is the difficulties many risk managers face in achieving an effective level of engagement with jail leadership. In this session we will equip risk managers with the data, trends, and solutions they need to offer credible assistance to jail leadership in addressing controllable risk factors. We will guide attendees through an exercise of completing a self-evaluation of their current program. Participants will come away with meaningful action steps that will serve as effective conversation starters, and will fuel the growth of a more impactful risk management solutions for these facilities.

WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? UNDERSTANDING ROOT CAUSES CTIS DECISION-MAKING Gordon Graham - Lexipol In any organization, most of the time, people get tasks, events, etc. done right but, when things don’t go right, there is the potential for nasty consequences. These include, but are not limited to: payouts, losses, litigation, embarrassment, or even death. In this program, Gordon Graham will show you how to identify the root causational factors most often responsible for these consequences and provide proven strategies to address these problems. This includes focusing on initial and ongoing training, and a full understanding of the risk/frequency matrix.

THE POWER AND POTENTIAL OF BECOMING A CHANGE AGENT PA/GBS ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT Margaret Spence, RMPE - C. Douglas & Associates, Inc. Almost everyone is trying very hard to fix something or change someone or improve somehow, but few people embrace change as a core competency. Change is hard, change tests your resilience, but change can be the most powerful tool deployed by leaders. Image for a moment the impact you could have as a risk manager if your organization embraced change as a core competency. What would you want to change? How would you identify the power and impact of change? What would you do to become an effective agent for change? This session answers all of these questions and more.

TOXIC INDIVIDUALS - TOXIC WORKPLACES CTIS INTERPERSONAL SKILLS Mauricio Velasquez, MBA - Diversity Training Group What is a “toxic person,” and if left to his/her own devices how do they create a “toxic” workplace? Most importantly, how does this toxicity affect employee engagement? Learn how to handle toxic individuals and what skills, tools, and methods one can employ to address the toxicity before it festers and kills morale and productivity.

UNFORCED ERRORS: COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY FOR RISK MANAGERS CTIS DECISION-MAKING Dr. Michael Lacroix - The Hartford While we like to believe that we manage risk and make decisions based on cold, rational processes, a lot of psychological research suggests otherwise. Building on Kahneman’s bestseller, Thinking Fast and Slow, we discuss half a dozen “normal” thinking processes that can, and often do, lead us to erroneous conclusions. Chief among these are (1) Confirmation bias, (2) Overconfidence in our own intuition, (3) Over-reliance on our own (often fallible) memories, (4) Substitution, (5) Over-dependence on the concordance of like-minded folks, and (6) Anchoring.

SCHOOLS • Creating a Culture of Emergency Preparedness • Reducing Risk Through Student Engagement CREATING A CULTURE OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PRMS CRISIS MANAGEMENT Kaylee Sorensen - Arizona School Risk Retention Trust The question for most schools is not if a disaster will happen to them, but when. Being prepared for a disaster, be it an act of violence, natural disaster, or something else, before it strikes can help mitigate both losses and trauma. Explore the importance of creating a positive emergency preparedness culture to ensure appropriate and effective response by districts and schools when disaster does strike. Special focus will be given to strategies to help district and school administrators include staff in important discussions and preparations.

REDUCING RISK THROUGH STUDENT ENGAGEMENT PRMS RISK CONTROL Rick Phillips - Community Matters Erica Vogel - Community Matters Bullying, mistreatment, and cyber-bullying continue to plague schools leading to increased claims and liability for school pools. These issues create negative school climates, make students feel less safe, and interfere with learning. Students who don’t feel emotionally or physically safe at school show a decrease in attendance, academic performance, and graduation while suspensions and expulsions often increase. Bullied youth are more likely to experience health problems including: anxiety, depression, changes in sleep patterns, eating problems, and suicide. Learn methods for engaging youth to create a positive school climate and reduce the risks and liability for school pools.

ADDRESS THE STRESS: IT’S COSTING YOUR ORGANIZATION MILLIONS PRMS CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

Dr. Felice Carlton - Felice Carlton Enterprises, LLC Unmanaged workplace stress in the United States costs more than $300 billion annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, staff turnover, and medical, legal, and insurance expenditures (American Psychological Association Centers for Organizational Excellence).

Research shows that increased long-term stress is linked to various diseases such as: heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety, unresolved headaches, sleep disturbances, weight gain, memory and concentration impairment, fatigue and digestive issues (Mayo Clinic,

2019). While stress is the root cause of multiple organizational challenges, it is frequently overlooked and minimized, thus increasing costs annually to employers. Creating an organizational culture of stress reduction and self-care is a strategic financial necessity to improving organizational metrics, leadership peak performance, employee productivity customer loyalty, and sustainable growth. Learn from a Doctor of Nursing with over a decade of experience in improving health outcomes, preventing disease and decreasing organizational health care costs by championing employee wellness programs.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVES TO OPIOID MEDICATIONS - THE HARTFORD CTIS DECISION-MAKING

Dr. Michael Lacroix, The Hartford The discussion around the opioid epidemic has mostly focused on the scope of the problem and the addictive properties of opioids. Recently, regulators, insurers, and health professionals have begun to focus on solutions, and while there are pharmacological alternatives to opioids, a genuine solution will involve non-pharmacological options.

Discuss strategies already known to be effective, as well as emerging strategies that should help finally end the “crisis,” notably physical therapy, chiropractic, and psychological treatment alternatives. We argue for a broader focus on the bio-psycho-social context of chronic pain and a re-thinking of coverage policies by public and private-sector insurers.

THE ADA, FMLA AND WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAW: ENSURING SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE THROUGH THE EMPLOYER’S “BERMUDA TRIANGLE PRMS REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Tamara Jones - Citycounty Insurance Services Employers working with an injured or ill employee know about the network of overlapping protections available to that employee under FMLA, the ADA, and workers’ compensation.

Complying with those protections, however, and ensuring that the employer’s rights are honored can be a difficult task. This session will provide an advance-level perspective on what happens when these three complicated employment concerns come together, drawing from real-life scenarios from the courts and Tamara’s practice. Learn the most frequent mistakes employers make when working with these laws and what attendees can learn from them. Bring your toughest questions!

UNDERSTANDING CANCER AND HEART PRESUMPTIONS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS PRMS CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

Joe DePaepe - McGriff, Seibels & Williams Matt Craig - TRISTAR Insurance Group Across the country, state legislatures have enacted presumption statutes for first responders. Most are aimed at modifying the state’s workers’ compensation statute to deal with what are inherently illness associated with disability type benefits not typically associated with workers’ compensation. While the intention is good, these statutes are often rebuttable presumptions that end up pitting first responders against the municipalities that employ them in the Worker’s Compensation arena, adding costs and often delaying benefits. During this session, attendees will learn how the State of Colorado has taken a different approach to funding indemnity type benefits via an accident policy for presumptive illness associated with line of duty work.

WHEN PTSD SHOWS UP AT WORK PRMS CLAIMS MANAGEMENT Teresa Bartlett, MD - Sedgwick An employee with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) may have just clocked in and you never even knew it. PTDS is showing up more frequently at the workplace and across a wide spectrums of organizations. PTSD is a mental condition that occurs in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a horrific event, and it is one employers should recognize and understand. This session will look at what risk managers can do to assist employees suffering from PTSD and what steps to take to minimize and mitigate its affect at the workplace.
