This implementation guide highlights concepts, resources, and lessons learned from a group of community health centers that identified patients who are essential workers through the collection of work-related information during a pilot study.
The data elements and vocabulary used in this guide are based on The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)’s Occupational Data for Health (ODH) framework for industry and occupation. This framework was condensed to align with community health center system modifications, use cases, workflows, and data collection scenarios.
