ASTM E2473-05

1.1 This Practice is intended to assemble a logical occupational/environmental health view of the already defined general structure and vocabulary for the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and to suggest the ways in which this view can be used to support employee health assessments and other healthcare delivered at the work site. This view is consistent with the ANSI/ADA Clinical Concept Data Model 2005, which identified the major data entities that will need to be involved. This view would complement other views addressed in other settings of care for the employee and could logically either request other EHR data or deliver to other practitioner requesters record systems portions of occupational/environmental health data that have been recorded at the work site. This practice does not deal with the specific implementation of the content and it also does not either suggest or recommend implementation techniques. Likewise, it does not suggest standards of care. These functions are dealt with in other domains.
