PH Occupational Data
Contents
Overview
The use of occupational data for health (ODH) in electronic health record systems and personal health record systems, and will facilitate the association of work and health in a way that has the potential to dramatically improve worker health. In the US, close to two-thirds of adults work, and, on average, workers spend close to half their waking hours at work. Therefore information about a patient’s work can help care providers with recognition and diagnosis, treatment or management, and transitions of care for conditions related to work and those unrelated to work.
