Exposures From Leasing Real Property (JLL 8/10)
Leasing real property creates major exposures for both landlord and tenant. Among the main concerns are determining which party is responsible to third parties for liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the leased premises; which party is responsible for damage to the property; and what rights and responsibilities the lease assigns to each party should the leased property be damaged. In this Letter, we look at managing exposures in connection with the leasing of real property.

Workers Compensation Outlook

Demystifying the Outcome-Driven Network (WCO 9/10)
When the magic bullet does not hit its mark, it is time to take a closer look at the arsenal. Since the 1990s, the answer to rapidly increasing workers compensation medical costs seemed to lie in negotiating discounts with provider networks. Today, despite deep discounts, workers compensation costs are still rising and, in many cases, medical severity is rising. Recognizing that unit cost discounts are not the solution — and, in fact, may contribute to increased utilization — the industry is looking at ways to drive provider behavior to obtain better outcomes. Unfortunately, outcomes are still not improving. It is time to stop seeking a theoretical ideal and start putting practical solutions into action.
This issue of Workers Compensation Outlook explains why network discounts did not keep costs down and why the so-called “outcome-driven” networks are not driving the expected results. We also explore the concept of an outcome-focused network based on quality care and how it might help reverse negative trends — as well as some of the challenges around implementation. Finally, we examine other components necessary to optimize outcomes for all stakeholders.
