The Using Occupational Data for Health (ODH) Action Guide outlines eight steps health centers can take to build ODH into their Electronic Health Records and create a seamless workflow to collect and use this valuable data. ODH tells us about a patient’s socio-economic status and income level, providing insight into an individual’s social needs and financial security; whether and how a patient is exposed to pollutants, toxins, or disease; and if a patient has access to employer-provided health insurance.
Care teams can use this data to offer personalized care and create population health plans for safer workspaces.
