Epidemiological surveillance: a management tool for occupational health
1School of Public Health and Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Abstract:
Epidemiological surveillance represents a practical and intuitive approach to preventing occupational disease and injury, yet it is underutilized in health care management. Through the systematic analysis of employee occupational health data, the epidemiological surveillance approach allows prompt identification of potential workplace hazards, identifies high-risk groups for targeting preventive efforts and provides a mechanism for evaluating interventions. Often, epidemiological surveillance can utilize existing data resources, making it a cost-effective tool. Epidemiological surveillance should be valuable in supporting management decisions relating to health promotion and disease prevention programs, as well as basic clinical needs of employees.
