• Description:
  The New York State (NYS) Occupational Health Clinic Network (OHCN) is unique in the United States as a partially-funded, statewide, public health-based network offering clinical and preventive occupational disease services. There are 11 clinics located throughout NYS including a Clinic specializing in agricultural safety and health. Since 1988, the OHCN has contributed to maintaining a healthy workforce in New York. Utilizing a public health approach, regionally-based clinics diagnose and treat occupational diseases and help improve working environments in New York State. The clinics also assist in meeting the goal in the NYS Department of Health Prevention Agenda 2013-2017 of reducing occupational injury and illness. This report represents an update of a selected subset of figures from the initial NYS Occupational Health Clinic Report (1988-2003) to include data from 2004 through 2012. The initial report included detailed descriptions of patient demographics, types of diagnoses and likely etiologic agents responsible for causing or exacerbating medical conditions, as well as the types of industries and occupations of the patients seen with occupational exposures. The current report provides updated data to better reflect current trends in diagnoses and exposures, and a more detailed description of data found in the original report. Properly identifying workplace hazards can be used to improve treatment and management of occupational diseases as well as prevent them from occurring. Data in this report will assist in identifying current occupational health needs in NYS as well as those being met by the OHCN. [Description provided by NIOSH]
