Implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Information System (OHASIS):
With funds from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, we are implementing and evaluating a web-based information system (being piloted in Free State, South Africa, as well as the South African National Health Laboratory Service) to help track workplace incidents, exposures, workplace hazards, personal risk factors, vaccines, training, treatment and the full spectrum of health outcome of health workers. Led by Dr. Jerry Spiegel, this project to study the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Information System (OHASIS) is subtitled “Tool, Weapon or White Elephant” in our effort to understand whether this health information system is actually beneficial.
