  • Title: Closing the surveillance gap.
    Author: Halperin WE, Ordin DL.
    Journal: Am J Ind Med; 1996 Feb; 29(2):223-4. PubMed ID: 8821367.
    Abstract:
    Since 1986 there has been substantial progress in developing surveillance systems for occupational disease and injury that meet the goals of surveillance: identification or new diseases and causes of injury; estimation of the magnitude and trend of injuries and illnesses; identification of epidemic clusters; and identification of sentinel cases representing failures of prevention. A quiltwork of surveillance systems for occupational diseases and injury has been implemented by several federal agencies; surveillance systems for many more disease and injuries are being developed by the states. The conceptual basis for "closing the surveillance gap" has been developed; national implementation is the next challenge.
