[Quality assurance to efficacy-effectiveness measuring in occupational medicine]

Abstract:
The occupational medicine was asked to play an important role in quality assurance procedures as demonstrated by the implementation of main principles of prevention in ISO EMAS and SA schemes. Peculiar condition appeared to be the promotion of quality in occupational physician activities as, for example, provided in these last three years the Italian Society of Occupational Medicine and Industrial Hygiene (SIMLII) by its excellence accreditation programme. The next step will be the identification and application of adequate indicators of efficacy-effectiveness of occupational medicine practices to demonstrate need and role of our discipline in guaranteeing and improving health in working places. To these aims has been addressed the meeting held in Bergamo and organized by the Lombard section of SIMLII in December 2005 whose main contributions are published in this GIMLE special issue.
