Many states lack comprehensive systems for occupational illness reporting. The Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR) aims to improve this by using targeted providers to report disorders, enhancing state surveillance and prevention efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Many states have laws mandating occupational illness and injury reporting by healthcare providers.
  • However, most states lack comprehensive systems for actively identifying, targeting, and responding to these case reports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR), a novel approach developed by NIOSH.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of SENSOR in establishing local capabilities for preventing selected occupational disorders through a cooperative state-federal effort.

Main Methods:

  • The Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR) utilizes targeted sentinel providers to identify and report specific occupational disorders.
  • These reports are directed to state surveillance centers for monitoring and intervention.

Main Results:

  • NIOSH initiated SENSOR projects, funding seven in 1987 and three in 1988.
  • These projects are in the early stages of development, with some already receiving occupational disorder case reports.

Conclusions:

  • The SENSOR program shows promise in developing state-level capacity for occupational disorder surveillance and prevention.
  • NIOSH plans to expand the SENSOR program to additional states as funding permits, fostering a broader national approach to occupational health.
