The new edition of Occupational Health Services provides an essential guide in setting up, running, and improving healthcare services either in an organization or within the community. The book offers an invaluable toolkit for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and occupational management of work-related health issues.

The text covers:

• An overview of occupational health care in the United States and Canada – how it is organized, who pays for what, how it is regulated, and how workers’ compensation works. It explains how occupational health services are managed in practice, whether within a company, as a global network, in a hospital or medical group practice, as a free-standing clinic, or following other models.
• The management of core services, including record-keeping, marketing, service delivery options, staff recruitment and evaluation, and program evaluation. It provides details on specific services such as clinical service delivery for injured workers, periodic health surveillance, impairment assessment, fitness for duty, alcohol and drug testing, employee assistance, mental health, health promotion, emergency management, global health management, and medicolegal services.

Thoroughly updated throughout and including a new chapter on Consulting, this unique book will be a key reference work for managers and health practitioners from a range of backgrounds, including but not limited to medicine, nursing, health services administration, and physical therapy, as well as students training in these fields.
