What should be included on the Annual Report?

• A. Fatalities
• B. Closed medical only claims
• C. Voc Rehab cases
• D. Excess carrier claims

Answer: (A)

Fatalities are the item that must be included because the annual SIP report centers on capturing the most serious safety outcome of the year. Tracking fatalities provides a clear, unambiguous indicator of safety performance that regulators can monitor year after year and use to drive regulatory oversight and safety improvements. The other options refer to different aspects of claims management or funding that aren’t the single, required annual data point for this report, so they aren’t the focus of what must be reported annually.
