[MCOH-EH] Free Health Informatics webinar

[Jodi Powell]

Greetings,

The Health Informatics Section of the American College of Occupational 
and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) is offering a FREE webinar entitled 
_*Incorporating Occupational Data into Infectious Disease Case Reports 
and Employee Health Records*_ on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 from 
1:00-2:30 pm EDT.

The webinar will address NIOSH's recently updated Occupational Data for 
Health (ODH) and will clarify opportunities for medical practices and 
electronic health records (EHRs) vendors to capture better occupational 
data in EHRs. Reliable I&O data is likely to benefit both clinical 
practice and reporting of infectious diseases that have an important 
occupational component.

You may register for the webinar by following this link:

You may be aware that Dr Joe was the original chair of the ACOEM Medical 
Informatics Section (before it was disbanded and then re-created by the 
College), and that for the past 9 years MediTrax, at his direction, has 
incorporated the NIOSH Industry and Occupation Computerized Coding 
System (NiOCCS) into our software. This enables users to document the 
Industry Code (SIC) and North American Industry Classification System 
(NAICS) Code for any Employer with a few mouse clicks.Over the years, Dr 
Joe has encouraged (and even offered to assist) other software vendors 
in adding this element to their data tables.

These codes were most recently updated by NIOSH in November 2019. If 
your current software provider does not allow you to capture this 
information, we recommend that you encourage them to add this 
functionality -- and perhaps let them know that they're also welcome to 
participate in the webinar.

MediTrax also enables users to document the Occupation Code for each 
worker with a few mouse clicks (these codes were most recently updated 
by NIOSH in December 2019). Again, we recommend that you ask your 
current software provider whether this functionality is (or will be) 
available.

We will be attending the August 5 webinar to learn how we can better 
incorporate this information into reports which facilitate a better 
understanding of the relationship between industries, occupations, and 
the health of workers and their families. *_We encourage you to pass 
this information on to any individuals at your facility who may be 
interested in better statistical analysis and reporting of this type of 
data._*
