ORLANDO--Workers' compensation insurers and others need to stay focused on reform and "imagine the possibilities for change," to hold down costs and improve operations, an insurance executive told an industry conference here.

That advice came from Vincent T. Donnelly, president and chief executive officer of PMA Capital Corp. and PMA Insurance Group, Blue Bell, Pa., speaking at the Annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference, a partnership of the Florida Workers' Compensation Institute and The National Underwriter Company.

Mr. Donnelly said a proactive approach is needed to deal with rising medical costs, an aging work force, decisions made by an active judiciary and the impact of terrorism.
