The Center for Occupational Health at University of Cincinnati Medical
Center includes the Occupational Medicine Clinic, the Occupational Pulmonary
Services program and the Medical Surveillance
program.
Occupational Health Clinic.
Our Occupational Health 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.
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.
