Improving Occupational Health in Oregon: Turning Data to Action

 描述(由申请人提供)：俄勒冈州职业公共卫生计划旨在通过监测、分析和调查以及制定和传播预防建议和干预措施来减少与工作相关的疾病和伤害。近25年来，俄勒冈州在培养伙伴关系、进行监测和职业健康教育/推广方面表现出色。整个计划是俄勒冈州卫生局和俄勒冈健康与科学大学之间的战略合作伙伴关系，由一个由政府、行业和大学利益相关者组成的长期有效的顾问委员会提供指导。近年来，我们的模式在利益攸关方与盟军特派团之间产生了更大的协调，包括新的正式的州一级合作协议。在俄勒冈州，2000-2011年间，与工作相关的疾病和工伤减少了40%。我们州的职业安全和健康状况正在改善，但伤害仍在继续，负担沉重，每年工人赔偿成本超过5亿美元。在我们的创新更新研究战略中，我们将领导国家级职业公共卫生倡议和计划，努力通过伙伴关系、技术和创新的研究方法创造行动。我们扩大的计划议程包括在职业健康指标(OHI)和俄勒冈州死亡率评估和控制评估(OR-FACE)项目中的监测和外展创新。这项提案的首要目标是向能够采取行动促进工作场所健康和拯救生命的安全专业人员提供高质量的监测数据和干预建议。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一项创新的总体战略，以实现以下具体目标：(1)实施扩展的愿景和战略计划，以推进俄勒冈州的职业公共健康监测、研究和推广；(2)支持现有州级职业健康倡议和计划的成功和发展；(3)通过演讲系列和会议小组投资于未来职业健康监测研究的创新领域；以及(4)在OHI和OR-Face子项目中开发和实施监测和推广创新。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Oregon Occupational Public Health Program aims to reduce work-related illness and injury through surveillance, analysis and investigation, and development and dissemination of prevention recommendations and interventions. Oregon has excelled at cultivating partnerships, conducting surveillance, and occupational health education/outreach for nearly 25 years. The Overall Program operates as a strategic partnership between the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Health & Science University with guidance from a longstanding and effective advisory board of government, industry, and university stakeholders. In recent years our model has produced greater coordination among stakeholders with allied missions, including new formal state-level collaborative agreements. In Oregon, work-related illnesses and injuries decreased by 40% during 2000-2011. Occupational safety and health is improving in our state, but injuries continue and the burden is heavy, with workers' compensation costs exceeding half-a-billion dollars annually. In our innovative renewal research strategy, we will provide leadership for state-level occupational public health initiative and programs and strive to excel at creating action through partnerships, technologies, and novel research methods. Our expanded program agenda includes surveillance and outreach innovations in both Occupational Health Indicators (OHI) and Oregon Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (OR-FACE) Projects. The overarching goal of this proposal is to provide quality surveillance data and intervention recommendations to safety professionals who can take action to promote workplace health and save lives. To accomplish this goal, we propose an innovative overall strategy to accomplish the following specific aims: (1) Implement an expanded vision and strategic plan to advance occupational public health surveillance, research, and outreach in Oregon; (2) Support the success and growth of existing state-level occupational health initiatives and programs; (3) Invest in innovative areas for future occupational health surveillance research through speaker series and conference panels; and (4) Develop and implement surveillance and outreach innovations in OHI and OR-FACE sub-projects.
