A System for Monitoring Employee Health in a Navy Occupational Setting.

Abstract

In response to a variety of requirements to document and monitor employee health in occupational settings, a medical treatment reporting system was developed and tested for 12 days at a Navy dispensary. A fundamental component of this system was an encounter form which documented the patient's background, visit status, symptoms, treatment, disposition, and diagnoses. These data were stored in an electronically accessible format and a series of previously programmed analyses were conducted to demonstrate potential uses of the data. As presently configured, the system would be beneficial in helping dispensaries meet present reporting requirements, but overall efficiency could be improved by use of an interactive terminal for data input.
