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，减少与工作有关的疾病和伤害。近25年来，俄勒冈州在培养伙伴关系、开展监测和职业健康教育/外展方面表现出色。整体方案作为俄勒冈州卫生局和俄勒冈州健康与科学大学之间的战略合作伙伴关系运作，并由政府，行业和大学利益相关者的长期有效咨询委员会提供指导。近年来，我们的模式在利益相关者与盟国特派团之间产生了更大的协调，包括新的正式国家级合作协议。在俄勒冈州，与工作有关的疾病和伤害在2000-2011年期间下降了40%。职业安全和健康在我们州正在改善，但伤害继续存在，负担沉重，工人的赔偿费用每年超过5亿美元。在我们的创新更新研究战略，我们将提供国家级职业公共卫生倡议和计划的领导，并努力通过合作伙伴关系，技术和新颖的研究方法创造行动的卓越。我们扩展的计划议程包括职业健康指标（OHI）和俄勒冈州死亡评估和控制评估（OR-FACE）项目的监督和推广创新。该提案的总体目标是为安全专业人员提供高质量的监测数据和干预建议，他们可以采取行动促进工作场所的健康并挽救生命。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一个创新的总体战略，以实现以下具体目标：（1）实施一个扩大的愿景和战略计划，以推进职业公共卫生监测，研究和推广在俄勒冈州;（2）支持现有的国家级职业卫生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;（4）在OHI和OR-FACE子项目中开发和实施监测和外展创新。

 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.
