 描述（申请人提供）：密歇根州立大学（MSU）作为密歇根州社区卫生部的真正代理人，与密歇根州工人赔偿机构（WCA）、密歇根州技术部合作，管理和预算（DTMB）和密歇根州职业安全和健康管理局（MIOSHA）回应资金机会公告（FOA）RFA-OH-14- 007关于工人赔偿监督。该提案将涉及所有十个国家职业研究议程（诺拉）行业部门和三个跨部门计划;肌肉骨骼疾病，监测和创伤性损伤。我们的提案有三个具体目标：1）按行业和雇主规模制定每全职员工（FTE）的工人赔偿（WC）索赔率; 2）制定一份三年数据报告，其中包括后续干预措施的建议;以及3）开发可访问的电子WC案例数据集。密歇根州立大学有27个工作与工人的赔偿数据的历史，作为国家的多数据源监控系统的一部分。密歇根州立大学和MDCH的同一个团队将执行这个项目，他们在职业健康监测方面已经合作了13年多。在报告和可公开访问的WC病例数据集开发完成后，我们将向雇主，雇员，健康和安全专业人员，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.
