Occupational Health Safety Network

The Occupational Health Safety Network (OHSN) is a free, web-based surveillance system designed by NIOSH to reduce preventable injuries among healthcare personnel. The network is a voluntary system that enables near real-time, secure tracking of occupational injuries by type, occupation, location, and risk factors using data already collected by healthcare facilities for OSHA reporting. The system allows healthcare facilities to:
Identify the most common injuries occurring at their facility and how they occurred.
Compare injury rates to other participating healthcare facilities by region or size, ensuring hospital and employee privacy.
Evaluate whether interventions are effective at reducing injuries by monitoring trends over time.
Access innovative intervention tools developed by NIOSH and other OHSN participating facilities.
Generate injury data reports as needed to meet OSHA regulatory and Joint Commission accreditation requirements.
From January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2014, 112 U.S. healthcare facilities reported 3,972 slips, trips, and falls injuries (STF); 4,674 patient handling and movement injuries; and 2,034 workplace violence injuries for a total of 10,680 OSHA-recordable injuries in these categories. See the recent article in the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) for more information on the data collected.
Future improvements to OHSN include plans to develop a module to systematically collect detailed information on occupational sharps injuries and blood and body fluid exposures among HCP that will assist in creating prevention strategies for those hazards. Send us your thoughts on what other injury types would be most useful to you and your organization. While OSHN started in healthcare, the system can be applied to nearly any industry with computer and internet access where occupational injury data are routinely collected. Let us know which industries could most benefit from a similar effort.
Finally, help us reach our goal of enrolling 200 healthcare facilities in OHSN by 2016. Click hereto start the enrollment process.

Frontiers in Public Health: Special Edition on Evidence-based Programming for Older Adults

CDC: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Your Online Source for Credible Health Information
Fall Prevention for Older Adults Highlighted
Frontiers in Public Health
Every 13 seconds an older adult is injured from a fall in the United States. Every 20 minutes one of these older adults dies from a fall. But falls are not an inevitable part of aging. There are specific things that can be done to safeguard older adults so they stay healthy, active and independent longer.
This special edition of Frontiers in Public Health highlights evidence-based programming and clinical interventions for older adults. CDC authors collaborated and contributed to this important publication, which includes approximately 25 commentaries and 35 full-length articles. The volume is available online and will become an e-book in May 2015, providing researchers, clinicians, and community organizations the tools and information needed to protect and improve the health of the rapidly growing population of older adults in the United States and throughout the world. The full volume and upcoming e-book are available on the Frontiers website.
CDC and Older Adult Fall Prevention

Using 3 steps in CDC's STEADI initiative can help you protect your patients age 65 and older from falls - saving lives and costs.

CDC developed a tool kit for health care providers called Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries, or STEADI, designed to help make fall prevention an integral part of primary care.
STEADI includes three things clinicians can do during office visits with patients 65 and older:
  • Ask patients if they have fallen in the past year, feel unsteady, or worry about falling;
  • Review medications and stop, switch, or reduce the dosage of drugs that can increase the risk of falling; and
  • Recommend vitamin D supplements of at least 800 IU/day with calcium.
CDC collaborates with federal and non-federal partners to build the knowledge base for fall prevention and to ensure the best evidence is used to guide action.
