Abstract

Occupational Healthcare (OH) is about the promotion and maintenance of the physical, mental and social well-being of employees. It aims to protect staff from workplace risks, but also to manage the effect of any health issues on their work. Given the cost of absence through illness to both the organisation and the individual, and given the government legislation that exists in this area, OH is of increasing importance to organisations and many now outsource this service. This paper discusses how a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project between a university and an OH provider led to the development of a web-based Management Information System (MIS) for Occupational Health that allows organisations to better manage their OH provision and sickness absences. The system is currently being evaluated in a large public sector organisation and early feedback is positive.
