Abstract:
|
Recent efforts to improve surveillance of workplace injuries and illnesses have focused on utilizing multiple data sources for the estimation or enumeration of cases. In a feasibility study of this multi-data source approach, we attempt to identify cases from the Washington State-based workers' compensation database, hospital discharge data, trauma registry data, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illness. This approach at state-based surveillance using multiple data sources is being piloted with two different health outcomes: work-related amputations and carpal tunnel syndrome. This paper describes the unique qualities of each data source, challenges faced by the utilization of multiple data sources, and preliminary findings.
