The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) launched the NextGen awards in 2017 to recognize talented young professionals who are having a positive impact on workers' compensation, making a difference within their organizations and leading the industry into the future.
The IAIABC announced the 2019 recipients of the NextGen Awards, and Healthesystems is proud to announce that among them is Stephanie Arkelian, a Product Manager who has spent eight years in the workers’ comp industry.
Having spent two years as a claims adjuster, Stephanie has put her frontline claims experience to use at Healthesystems for six years and has been instrumental in launching multiple programs, including the Healthesystems’ RideShare and Physical Medicine programs, ensuring that such programs were developed with efficiency in mind for claims staff, helping adjusters to maximize patient benefit.
According to Stephanie’s nomination:
Stephanie is a big-picture visionary, one who can connect the dots and gain the consensus and buy-in necessary to orchestrate a large-scale project according to plan. Stephanie's dedication to quality, to customers, and patients sets her apart; and through her stewardship our organization ensures that user validation is a part of our day-to-day process, whether by interviewing adjusters and managed care program liaisons, or through objective metrics, such as examining vendor utilization data to understand claims staff behavior.
Stephanie and the other NextGen Award recipients will be participating in a special session during the IAIABC 105th Convention in Pittsburgh in October.
