Computerization of medical and exposure records

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1982
An interdisciplinary team of occupational health professionals and computer engineers at Digital Equipment Corporation have developed a computerized system for maintaining employee medical and exposure records. The Industrial Health Monitoring System (IHMS) was designed to meet the occupational and public health needs of employees engaged in ...

Practitioners education on medical exposure justification

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2011
The knowledge of practitioners on justification of the individual medical exposure was assessed during education and training programmes. A survey containing questions on this issue was used. The results show that the Good Practice Guide should be disseminated and studied by radiation protection training programmes and such kind of training must be ...

Minimizing Medical Malpractice Exposure

2011
The prevention of medical liability litigation for surgeons hinges upon numerous factors, the most important of which is the competence of the surgeon. Continuing surgeon education, alertness for complications, and the maintenance of a healthy surgeon–patient relationship are essential factors in minimizing medical malpractice lawsuits.

Medical surveillance programme for diisocyanate exposure

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2010
ObjectivesSurveillance programmes for occupational asthma should reduce the severity of asthma both at the time of diagnosis and after removal from exposure as well as costs related to functional impairment. The aim of this study was to compare the severity and cost of diisocyanate-induced occupational asthma in workers participating in a surveillance ...

Teratogenic Mechanisms Associated with Prenatal Medication Exposure

Therapies, 2014
Birth defects may originate through multiple mechanisms and may be caused by a variety of possible exposures, including medications in early pregnancy. In this review, we describe six principal teratogenic mechanisms suspected to be associated with medication use: folate antagonism, neural crest cell disruption, endocrine disruption, oxidative stress ...

Radiation Exposure From Medical Imaging

JAMA, 2010
THE AVERAGE RADIATION DOSE TO WHICH PERSONS IN the United States are exposed has doubled over the past 30 years. Although the average dose from natural background sources has not changed, the average radiation dose from medical imaging has increased more than 6-fold.

Radiation dosimetry for diagnostic medical exposures

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2007
The number and complexity of medical procedures using X rays or radioactive materials are both steadily increasing. As a result, the dose from medical exposures now makes up the largest component of the radiation dose to the population in some developed countries.

Medical Radiation Exposure and Genetic Risks

Southern Medical Journal, 1980
Everyone is exposed to background radiation throughout life (100 mrem/year to the gonads or 4 to 5 rem during the reproductive years). A lumbosacral series might deliver 2,500 mrem to the male or 400 mrem to the female gonads. A radiologic procedure is a cost/benefit decision, and genetic risk is a part of the cost.

Minimizing Medical Malpractice Exposure

2019
Medical malpractice claims result from unexpected outcomes complicated by aggravating circumstances. “Lessons learned” from past de-identified closed claims have been published online (asmbs.org) as “Patient Safety Vignettes,” available to logged-in ASMBS members. Their value was validated by a member “Needs Assessment Survey” in early 2014, which also
