Project

Reliability, quality and new possibilities of the information needed for the occupational health situation analysis

The information on use of services generated in occupational health care is part of the information collected in the social and health care service, which should be available for use nationally and regionally in the guidance, follow-up and evaluation of activities. The project makes it possible to complement other information accumulated in occupational health care and to increase the transparency of the sector.
