What changed in EDEX when EAMS went live?
The division worked with all the state’s EDEX vendors to ensure the majority of services provided through EDEX could continue. However, because the system from which EDEX gets data changed, some of the data flowing through EDEX also changed. EDEX is essentially a conduit through which system users, such as lien claimants, health care organizations, attorneys and others get information about cases before the DWC/Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). Before EAMS went live, EDEX provided data contained in the WCAB online system to individuals and groups who used it in their case management functions and to file liens in workers’ compensation cases. When EAMS went live, the data contained in the WCAB online system was moved over to EAMS and the WCAB online system was turned off.
