Oral Session | ||||
| ||||
| APHA has developed a set of fourteen principles for evaluating proposals for a national health program and has recently formed a working group to review and refine them. This panel will add to the process by discussion how occupational health and safety services and workers' compensation systems should be delivered under a national health plan. Among the issues to be addressed are: How should a national health plan be structured to avoid the current physician-patient conflicts associated with worksite occuaptional health surveillance and reatment services controlled by the emploer? How could a national health care system improve the workers' compensation system and the quality of data used for surveillance and research activities? Are there alternative models or lessons from other countries with national healthprograms? How can the OHS section work to create a vision for occuaptional health under a national health plan? Panelists will share experiences from Canada, Brazil, the U.K., Europe and the U.S. | ||||
