• Description:
  The purpose of the OLDB is to enhance diagnosis and encourage the reporting of work-related lung diseases as mandated by Massachusetts Public Health Law, and to provide up-to-date information about work-related asthma (WRA) and other occupational lung diseases. These are essential components of a surveillance system that relies on the diagnostic capabilities and commitment of providers to their patients and to public health. Reported cases are used to describe the burden of work-related lung diseases, tell stories, help protect coworkers and promote prevention. This Fall 2018 OLDB summarizes a JOEM article recommending clinical decision support systems for WRA. This article was published November 2017 by Drs. Harber, Redlich, and Hines, and NIOSH representatives Filios and Dr. Storey, and is accessible online, as well as the background full report. [Description provided by NIOSH]
