描述(由申请人提供)：加州卫生服务部职业健康分部建议一项扩大计划，通过维持和扩大加州职业健康监测和工作场所干预的能力来减少工人伤害和疾病。扩大的计划包括基本计划和对四种优先健康状况(哮喘、腕管综合征、矽肺和杀虫剂疾病)的深入监测。基础计划通过从可用数据源生成新信息、开展协作以增强计划的运作和影响以及评估进度以确保总体协调和有效性，为监督和干预活动提供基础。基本方案将：收集和分析19个职业健康指标的年度监测数据和就业人口统计概况，并对选定的指标进行深入分析；继续并扩大对电子工人补偿信息系统的评估，将其作为职业健康监测的有用数据源；通过建立职业健康保险咨询委员会，与国家合作伙伴合作，并通过新成立的联合体和委员会与其他州方案和全国职业安全卫生组织合作；通过面向利益攸关方的年度出版物和增强的职业健康保险网站，传播监测数据、案例调查结果和干预结果；对扩大后的计划的成就和影响进行年度绩效审查，并提出改进有效性的建议；优先健康状况方案旨在收集和分析全州范围的监测数据，以指导工作场所调查和干预措施，以制定预防建议。每个方案涉及：依靠现有和新的全州报告系统进行多源监测；在选定的高危职业和行业中进行工作场所干预，以预防疾病；与各种合作伙伴合作，制定和实施预防战略；通过各种具体方法传播监测和干预结果；以及为病例确定、病例跟踪、干预和传播评估监测系统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Occupational Health Branch, California Department of Health Services, proposes an Expanded Program to reduce worker injury and illness by maintaining and expanding the capacity for occupational health surveillance and workplace interventions in California. The Expanded Program includes the Fundamental Program and in-depth surveillance of four Priority Health Conditions (asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, silicosis, and pesticide illness). The Fundamental Program provides the foundation for surveillance and intervention activities by generating new information from available data sources, developing collaborations to enhance program operation and impact, and evaluating progress to ensure overall coordination and effectiveness. The Fundamental Program will: Collect and analyze annual surveillance data for 19 occupational health indicators and an employment demographics profile and conduct an in-depth analysis of selected indicators; Continue and expand assessment of the electronic Workers' Compensation Information System as a useful data source for occupational health surveillance; Collaborate with state partners through creation of an OHB Advisory Committee, and with other state programs and NIOSH through a newly established consortium and committee; Disseminate surveillance data, findings of case investigations, and intervention results through an annual publication for stakeholders and enhanced OHB website; Prepare an annual performance review of the accomplishments and impact of the Expanded Program with recommendations for improving effectiveness; Priority Health Condition programs are designed to collect and analyze statewide surveillance data that guide workplace investigations and interventions to develop recommendations for prevention. Each program involves: conducting multi-source surveillance relying on existing and new statewide reporting systems; performing workplace interventions to prevent illness among selected high-risk occupations and industries; collaborating with a diverse range of partners to develop and implement prevention strategies; disseminating surveillance and intervention findings through a variety of specific methods; and evaluating the surveillance system for case ascertainment, case follow-up, intervention, and dissemination.
