About This Series: Welcome to AI + HI™ with The MedLegal Professor™: The First 24 Hours, a 5-part educational series designed on AI Triage in Workers’ Compensation. This series explores how AI + HI™ (Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence) is reshaping one of the most critical stages in the workers’ compensation process: the first 24 hours after a workplace injury is reported. This is a beginner-friendly series where I try to decode how AI and HI™ are transforming the first 24 hours of a workers’ compensation claim. I created this series to empower professionals across our industry, adjusters, attorneys, employers, and clinicians, with a clear and practical introduction to AI Claims Triage.
Why the First 24 Hours Matter: In workers’ comp, the early hours determine everything, from treatment paths to litigation risks. Delays, inconsistency, and fragmented workflows often lead to prolonged recovery, rising costs, and reduced trust among injured workers. Most systems remain reactive rather than proactive, focused on responding to red flags long after they surface.
AI triage offers a chance to reverse that trend, but not without human oversight. That’s where AI + HI™ comes in. It’s not just about technology. It’s about creating a smarter, faster, and more compassionate process by pairing machine intelligence with human experience.
