The Center for Occupational Health
Medical
CenterThe Center for Occupational Health at University of Cincinnati Medical Center includes the Occupational Medicine Clinic, the Occupational Pulmonary Services program, the Disability Management program, and Medical Surveillance program.
Occupational Medicine Clinic.
Our Occupational Medicine Clinic is staffed by experts
in occupational and environmental health. A full range of clinical services
is available through physicians who are board-certified in internal medicine,
occupational medicine, and pulmonary medicine. All have extensive experience
in evaluating and treating employees with various types of occupational
and environmental disorders. They provide medical evaluations ranging from
pre-employment medical screening examinations to complex independent medical
evaluations and medical impairment examinations.
In addition, our staff includes experts in occupational
pulmonary disorders, neurotoxicity, and ergonomics as well as disability
and impairment, return to work evaluations, and independent medical evaluations.
Occupational Pulmonary Services.
Our Occupational
Pulmonary Services program provides preventive, evaluative, and corrective
measures for workers at risk in the workplace because of exposure to harmful
substances in the air. We offer state-of-the-art respirator fit testing,
pulmonary function and lung-capacity testing, and computerized lung-function
trend analysis, both on-site and at the Center for Occupational Health.
We use the most advanced diagnostic and measurement methods available to
meet the strictest government standards for the evaluation and protection
of workers. Analysis and auditing of quality assurance programs are routinely
provided. Ambulatory (electronic) monitoring of lung function (FEV1 and
Peak Flow) from remote facilities is available. Occupational Pulmonary
Services also routinely evaluates the inhalation hazards of workplace chemicals
for the purpose of evaluating injury and illness causation.
Disability Management.
The Disability Management Service offered by the
Center for Occupational Health is designed to help control health care
costs and work disruptions due to work-related injuries and illnesses.
We offer a comprehensive, on-site disability analysis
program that reviews company policies, procedures, resources, and capabilities
for dealing with workplace injuries. By looking at your industry's history
of work-related injuries and claims along with current labor relations
issues, employee work habits and job risk factors, we will develop and
help implement guidelines to resolve current claims and return workers
to productive jobs, while preventing future workplace health problems.
Medical Surveillance.
Our university-based Medical Surveillance program
offers employee health monitoring and data collection based on proven scientific
epidemiological techniques. We guarantee reliable, standardized data collection
that enables workers and industry to detect potentially adverse health
trends in the early stages. This provides the opportunity to take preventive
measures before permanent health problems develop.
Occupational Health Assessment.
This program offers specialized intervention services
that identify and prevent health-related job performance problems. We offer
pre-employment evaluation to help match the employee to the appropriate
job task, and early intervention to help workers with health problems that
affect job performance. We will tailor our services to work with company
employee assistance programs, or we can connect employees with independent
assistance programs. Our Occupational Health Assessment program can prevent
costly, disruptive disability leave and disability retirement by working
with employees to modify job tasks and work behavior and increase physical
strength enabling them to stay in a productive position.
