Components of occupational health information systems
Abstract:
Occupational health information systems continue to evolve and mature. Consistent throughout this evolution is the linkage of four data bases: job history, work site exposure, environmental agents, and health and safety. A review of the literature cites common elements within these data bases and characteristics of successful systems. Among the factors of successful systems is the role of key staff members. The medical record practitioner can be a significant contributor in the design of such systems. The profession should explore further the opportunities that exist in the occupational health setting.
