Abstract: Occupational health nurses routinely
collect clinical information and
enter it in the worker's clinical chart
record. While a single chart provides
information for making clinical decisions
for an individual, the information
from many charts is needed for
summarizing trends in worker illness
and injury across a worker population.
With summary information on a
group of workers, the occupational
health nurse can plan for illness and
injury prevention programs.
