Staff has begun evaluating a real-time surveillance tool to track occupationally-related emergency room visits throughout the state via EpiCenter and applying established epidemiologic techniques to a different set of circumstances. Incorporating Syndromic Surveillance data with hospital discharge data will enhance the classification and capture of work-related non-fatal injuries with possible improved efforts at prevention. Evaluating this dataset will enhance existing surveillance; provide a broader characterization of health risks faced by worker populations; and allow for quicker response.</p> ER -
