Shands HealthCare reduced its total cost of risk (TCOR) for GL, WC, Property and other non-professional liability lines by over 6% within a 3-month period. James Roberts, Shands' General Counsel, will present a case study describing how Shands achieved this significant savings. This case study will discuss the major program components that were evaluated and the changes that were made to realize cost savings: the insurance and risk transfer program, claim costs, loss control, TPA expenses, and broker expenses.

Shands is a multi-hospital system including 2 academic medical centers and 6 acute care community hospitals affiliated with University of Florida.
