| Abstract |
In Spain, temporary invalidity (TI) gave rise to approximately three billion euros of direct costs and twelve billion euros of indirect costs in 1997. Furthermore, current methods do not allow the detection of cheating. The purpose of this work was to propose a model for TI management using neural networks (artificial intelligence) to lower individual costs of TI compensation in a rational manner. The application of this model to all cases of absenteeism processed in the province of Guadalajera between 1995 and 2002 would have resulted in estimated savings of 18 million euros for all cases where absenteeism exceeded double the length of time predicted by the model. If a third of these cases involved cheating, the net savings for the period would have been six million euros. Use of this model therefore allows a rationalization of the management of cases and a control of benefits granted. |
