The Workers' Compensation Research Institute has released the fifth edition of CompScope Benchmarks, its annual comparison of state workers' compensation systems. The study provides comparisons on more than 60 system performance measures for 12 states, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, in which more than 50 percent of the nation's workers' compensation benefit payments are made.

Benchmarks pulls data from claims for injury years 1997 through 2002 from WCRI's Detailed Benchmarking/Evaluation database, which contains more than 16 million claims.

Separate reports for individual states also are available. Copies of the study can be purchased online at www.wcrinet.org/recent_pub.html.
