Improving Occupational Health in Oregon: Turning Data to Action

描述（由申请人提供）：俄勒冈州人类服务部（DHS）环境公共卫生办公室（OEPH）建议建立一个更全面的基于州的职业健康监测系统。“改善俄勒冈州的职业健康：将数据转化为行动”是OEPH研究与教育服务（R&E）部门职业公共卫生计划（OPHP）的一个项目。该系统将以OPHP的基本监测系统为基础，该系统是根据以前的合作协议建立的，包括为国家制定的职业健康指标收集和分析数据。俄勒冈州的基本监测系统将产生职业健康指标，并补充他们与现有的OPHP监测数据，包括行业特定的数据。 价格和经济成本。通过传播更好地描述俄勒冈州工人受伤和疾病的规模、严重程度、原因和费用的数据，OPHP将促使合作伙伴优先考虑、制定和实施干预战略。这一沟通的正式机制是OPHP咨询委员会，旨在加强和扩大现有的公共和私营伙伴关系。OPHP将包括广泛的评价，以改善系统及其组成部分。数据、方法、过程和其他调查结果将通过职业国家监测联盟（COSS）和其他机制广泛分享，以学习并为其他国家提供职业健康监测模式。以下是该项目拟议的基本监测系统组成部分的具体目标：目标1：维护和加强俄勒冈州的监测系统，以捕捉职业健康指标（OHI）活动。目标二：对俄勒冈州特定的职业健康指数数据进行全面和严格的分析，以评估俄勒冈州的职业健康和安全状况，目标3：制定和实施全面的沟通和推广工作，以传播该计划的结果。目标4：维持和加强职业公共卫生方案咨询委员会，以加强和扩大合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Environmental Public Health (OEPH) proposes to build a more comprehensive state-based occupational health surveillance system. "Improving Occupational Health in Oregon: Turning Data to Action" is proposed as a project of the Occupational Public Health Program (OPHP) in OEPH's Research & Education Services (R&E) section. This system will be based upon OPHP's Fundamental Surveillance System, which was built under previous cooperative agreements and includes the collection and analysis of data for the nationally developed Occupational Health Indicators (OHI). Oregon's Fundamental Surveillance System will generate the Occupational Health Indicators, and supplement them with data from existing OPHP surveillance data, including industry-specific rates and economic costs. By disseminating data which better characterizes the magnitude, severity, causes and costs of worker injuries and illnesses in Oregon, OPHP will engage partners in prioritizing, developing and implementing intervention strategies. The formal mechanism for this communication, which serves to strengthen and expand existing public and private partnerships, is the OPHP Advisory Committee. OPHP will include extensive evaluation to improve the system and its components. Data, methods, processes and other findings will be widely shared, through the Consortium of Occupational State-based Surveillance (COSS) and other mechanisms, to learn from and provide a model for other states conducting occupational health surveillance. The following are the specific aims of the proposed Fundamental Surveillance System component of the project: Aim 1: Maintain and strengthen Oregon's surveillance system to capture Occupational Health Indicator (OHI) activities. Aim 2: Conduct comprehensive and rigorous analysis of Oregon specific OHI data to assess the state of occupational health and safety in Oregon, Aim 3: Develop and implement a comprehensive communication and outreach effort to disseminate the findings of the program. Aim 4: Maintain and strengthen the Occupational Public Health Program (OPHP) Advisory, Committee to enhance and expand collaboration.
