  • Title: Occupational health practice in New Zealand.
    Author: Gorman D, Jarvie P, Robinson P.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1999 Mar 12; 112(1083):79-82. PubMed ID: 10210310.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of the national un-funded liability for work injuries and illnesses, and comparisons of health outcome and cost data to a benchmark, it can be concluded that occupational health practice in New Zealand is deficient. This deficiency persists despite recent legislative reforms and is due to a combination of Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation, health professional and industrial factors. It is clear that a comprehensive corrective strategy is needed to attend to: the up-skilling of health case managers and the medical profession in concert; and, to encouraging employers to introduce comprehensive occupational health programmes.
