The Acquisition and Use of Morbidity Data in Naval Environments,
Abstract
One component of the Navy occupational health information system being developed at the Naval Health Research Center is the medical monitoring subsystem. This component was designed to have the capacity to operate on a 'stand alone' basis. As an independent system medical data would be gathered stored, and retrieved to generate routine reports thus relieving medical personnel of some of their administrative burden. However, when operating as a component of the overall occupational health information system reports showing an individual's exposure to hazardous substance can be generated and periodic physical examinations of personnel working with hazardous materials can be automatically scheduled. Thus, a highly flexible system is being developed which can be shaped to meet needs that range from those of a dispensary at a Navy industrial facility to those encountered in the sick bay of a deployed ship.
