 描述(由申请人提供)：田纳西州收集与职业伤害、疾病、危害和暴露有关的重要数据，以监测趋势。同时，还在不断地收集、解释和分析健康数据。该计划旨在将目前的数据收集工作推进到一个高度关注职业健康和安全(OH)的公共卫生监测计划。 在田纳西州卫生部助理专员的领导下，拟议的计划将利用一名具有连接复杂数据集技能的全职员工(统计编程专家2)，与具有伤害监测经验的流行病学家合作，建立田纳西州使用现有数据源(http://www.cste.org).)汇编、分析和解释至少15项职业健康指标(OHI)的监测数据的能力 该项目将与现有的和经验丰富的公共卫生统计研究人员合作， 合作制定全面的职业安全和健康监测计划，包括：数据获取-分析和传播指标结果；拓展和伙伴关系发展，以便为预防和干预工作提供信息/支持；以及提出优先研究项目和/或重点领域。 主要目标： ·评估和衡量职业健康改善情况，以保护健康和促进变革。 ·通过外联、信息共享和记录成果，发起并促进与公共和私人伙伴的合作。 ·制定将数据转化为行动的方法，以取得积极成果。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The State of Tennessee collects significant data related to occupational injuries, illnesses, hazards, and exposures in order to monitor trends. Concurrently, health data is collected, interpreted and analyzed on an ongoing basis. This program aims to progress the current data collection to a public health surveillance program with a strong occupational health and safety (OH) focus. Led by an Assistant Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Health, the proposed program would utilize a full time employee with skills in linking complex data sets (Statistical Programmer Specialist 2) working with an Epidemiologist experienced in injury surveillance to build the capacity for Tennessee to compile, analyze, and interpret surveillance data for a minimum of 15 of the 20 occupational health indicators (OHIs) using existing data sources (http://www.cste.org). Working with existing and highly experienced public health statistics researchers, the project will collaboratively develop a holistic occupational safety and health surveillance program including: data acquisition-analysis and dissemination of findings from indicators; outreach and partnership development in order to inform/enable prevention and intervention efforts; and, propose priority research projects and/or focus areas. Key Aims: • Assess and measure occupational health improvement in order to protect health and promote change. • Initiate and foster collaboration with public and private partners through outreach, informatio sharing, and documenting outcomes. • Develop methods to convert data to action in order to achieve positive outcomes.
