PH Occupational Data

[Public Health Main Page]

[Public Health Project List]

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.

Occupational Data for Health (ODH) Elements and Structure in HL7 V2 Messaging and FHIR

Description

This project will develop a V2 messaging structure and FHIR artifact (e.g. resource or profile) for communicating Occupational Data for Health (ODH) elements.

The Structured Documents Work Group are working on a project to develop an ODH C-CDA template. The V2 and FHIR project will align with this template.
