Good occupational health case management software makes ownership, workflow state, outstanding work and Case history clear from acceptance to closure.
A practical guide to organising health surveillance around exposure, initial assessments, recurring checks and the actions that follow each result.
After the offer, a pre-placement assessment is an operational record-keeping problem. The questionnaire is only one of the things that has to survive.
Modern occupational health software should model how occupational health work relates over time, not merely digitise its forms, diaries and documents.
Occupational health referral management preserves what was requested, then coordinates the distinct Case work created when that Referral is accepted.
Well-designed health surveillance forms capture the right structured information for an assessment without becoming the data model for the entire surveillance programme.
