WorkWeLCC™ platform to improve access to OH services and improve worker health and work participation in SMEs

该独特的解决方案结合了使用唯一的技术来客观评估工人科普工作需求的能力，为中小企业经理和自营职业者提供了一个可访问的数字转诊平台，并将这些与职业健康服务提供商联系起来。所使用的技术是白细胞应对能力（TM）（LCC（TM））测试，这是一种由受过训练的人（通常是护士或卫生技术人员）进行的微创手指针刺测试，并在10分钟内进行解释。这种微创测试的好处是获得了了解工人健康和科普工作需求能力的宝贵信息。我们将结果传输到以工人为中心的软件界面（WorkWeLCC（TM）平台），让工人了解他们满足工作需求的应对能力，并根据需要寻求职业健康（OH）转诊和/或采取早期纠正措施的帮助。请注意，LCC测试能够识别心理和身体过度紧张，从而防止生理疾病（心理压力）和肌肉骨骼（MSK）过度紧张和相关的疾病缺席。纠正措施可以通过改变工人的生活方式和习惯，如遵循睡眠卫生建议或进行呼吸练习，（此建议通过WorkWeLCC平台提供），或者如果健康失代偿，则向OH提供者发起职业健康转介。职业健康咨询的结果是建议中小企业经理合理的工作场所调整，以帮助工人留在工作。以病人为中心的方法和方便的转诊平台的可能结果将是提高中小企业和自雇人士对职业健康服务的接受程度，从而产生高质量的结果。该解决方案旨在提高特别是老年工人和慢性病患者的工作参与率（最大限度地减少病假和退休）。中小企业OH转介平台为中小企业管理人员提供关于OH服务价值的培训。我们与中小企业经理协商开发推荐平台，以专门针对他们的需求，如本申请所述。该平台与职业医生等职业健康专业人员相连接，他们能够与工人进行远程电话评估，在向中小企业管理人员提供合理调整建议时遵守医疗保密参数。这条路线也是自雇人士。我们将从事海上能源部门，各种手动，白色领，轮班工人和技术人员，以便能够概括结果。

The unique solution combines the use of the only technology to objectively assess the worker's ability to cope with job demands, with an accessible digital referral platform for SME managers and the self employed, and connects these with occupational health service providers. The technology used is the Leucocyte CopingCapacity(TM) (LCC(TM)) test, a minimally invasive fingerprick test administered by a trained person, usually a nurse or health technician, and interpreted within 10 minutes. The benefit of this minimally invasive test is the valuable information gained in understanding worker health and _capacity to cope_ with work demands.We stream results to a worker centred software interface (the WorkWeLCC(TM) platform), for the worker to have understanding of their coping ability to meet job demands and seek assistance for occupational health (OH) referral and/or take early corrective action, as needed. Note that the LCC test is able to identify psychological as well as physical overstrain and thereby aims to prevent physiological ill health (psychological stress) and musculoskeletal (MSK) overstrain and related sickness absences.Corrective action could be by changing worker lifestyle and habits, such as by following sleep hygiene advice or perform breathing exercises, (this advice is provided through the WorkWeLCC platform), or initiating an occupational health referral to an OH provider if there is decompensation in health. The outcome of OH advice is to advise the SME manager on reasonable workplace adjustments to assist the worker to remain in work.The likely result of a patient centred approach and accessible referral platform will be an improved uptake of OH service provision with SME's and the self employed, resulting in quality outcome. The solution aims to improve work participation (minimise sickness absence and retirement) of especially older worker and those with chronic health conditions.The SME OH referral platform provides training to SME managers on the value of OH services. We develop the referral platform in consultation with SME managers to specifically target their needs, as outlined in this application. The platform is linked to OH professionals, such as occupational physicians, who are then able to do remote telephone assessments with the workers, adhering to parameters of medical confidentiality when providing advice on reasonable adjustments to SME managers. The route is also accessible to the self-employed.We will engage in the offshore energy sector, with a variety of manual, white collar, shift workers and technicians, in order to be able to generalise results.
