Use of Michigan Worker Compensation Data for Surveillance of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

 描述(由申请人提供)：密歇根州立大学(MSU)作为密歇根州社区卫生部门的真正代理，与密歇根州工人补偿机构(WCA)、密歇根州技术、管理和预算部(DTMB)和密歇根州职业安全与健康管理局(MIOSHA)合作，回应关于工人补偿监督的资金机会公告(FOA)RFA-OH-14-007。该提案将涉及所有十个国家职业研究议程(NORA)行业部门和三个跨部门项目：肌肉骨骼疾病、监测和创伤损伤。我们的建议有三个具体目标：1)按行业和雇主规模制定每名全职当量工人补偿(WC)索赔率；2)开发一份三年数据报告，其中包括对后续干预的建议；以及3)开发公众可访问的WC案例电子数据集。密歇根州立大学有27年的历史，将工人补偿数据作为该州多数据源监控系统的一部分。密歇根州立大学和麻省理工学院将开展这一项目的同一团队已经在职业健康监测方面合作了13年以上。在开发了这份报告和可供公众查阅的WC病例数据库后，我们将向雇主、雇员、卫生和安全专业人员、公共卫生专业人员和研究人员传播信息。MIOSHA将参与协助确定后续干预措施。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Michigan State University (MSU) acting as the bona fide agent of the Michigan Department of Community Health is partnering with the Michigan Worker Compensation Agency (WCA), Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) to respond to Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) RFA-OH-14-007 on Workers' Compensation Surveillance. The proposal will address all ten National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) industry sectors and three of the cross-sector programs; musculoskeletal disease, surveillance and traumatic injury. Our proposal has three specific aims: 1) Develop rates of workers' compensation (WC) claims per full time equivalents (FTE) by industry and employer size; 2) Develop a report of three years' worth of data that includes recommendations for follow-up interventions; and 3) Develop publically accessible electronic WC case datasets. MSU has a twenty seven history of working with workers' compensation data as part of the state's multi-data source surveillance system. The same team at MSU and MDCH that will carry out this project has worked together on occupational health surveillance for more than 13 years. After development of the report and publicly accessible WC case datasets we will disseminate the information to employers, employees, health and safety professionals, public health professionals and researchers. MIOSHA will be involved in assisting to determine follow-up interventions.
