The Power of Mobile EHS

Medgate Inc.

To keep employees safe, EHS professionals need to collect and quickly respond to data at sites across their organization. With small teams, responding to events and ensuring compliance at geographically dispersed locations presents a real challenge. Join Mauri Paz, Environmental and Safety Product Manager at Medgate, to learn what you should look for in a mobile solution and how to apply mobile concepts to your processes. A mobile EHS solution means that not only you, but your entire workforce can record data on-site at the time it occurs. This allows for near real-time compliance and saves time and money. When the same app gives employees access to surveys, questionnaires and tasks, the value of mobile blossoms, becoming a powerful tool for improving employee engagement in EHS programs. During this webinar Mauri discusses: The value of mobility to the environmental and safety professional How to navigate around IT and Security constraints How to choose the right mobile platform for your requirements Examples of mobility applicability

Scientific evidence now supports what many EHS professionals have long suspected—that risk factors in the workplace can contribute to health problems previously considered unrelated to work. As a result, there is clear value in shifting from a siloed view of employee work safety toward a more inclusive and comprehensive perspective. Total Worker Health is a NIOSH-led concept embraced by organizations to not only protect workers, but also advance their health and well-being by targeting the conditions of work. This approach integrates workplace interventions with activities that advance the overall well-being of workers outside the workplace environment. By establishing policies, programs, and practices within the workplace that focus on advancing the safety, health and well-being of the workforce may be helpful for individuals, their families, communities, employers and the economy as a whole. The second webinar in our series, Using Technology to achieve Total Worker Health, shows how you can overcome the challenges presented by complex organizational structures and fluid workforces. Medgate shows that by harnessing technology, you can promote a sustainable TWH program. Read this deck and learn: The challenges facing dynamic and changing workforces when trying to achieve success with TWH. How to break down barriers and bring groups together. How technology can serve to promote Total Worker Health ideals and engagement.

It describes the development of Close Care Gap (CCG) software over four years to address these issues using a systems thinking approach. The next release will include new features like peer audits and quality measures. 3.

Viral social marketing: An examination of ad perception and forwarding behavi...

Danya Hodgetts

The project is the first of its type to explore the reach and effectiveness of an internet viral ‘social’ marketing campaign in disseminating physical activity promotion information using the internet. Viral marketing is an approach that systematically facilitates and encourages people to pass along the selected marketing message using the individual’s own contact network. Viral marketing is a cost-effective method of promoting goods and services in the commercial arena. Phelps and colleagues (2004) advise developers of viral marketing campaigns to ensure messages evoke a strong emotion: humour, fear, sadness or inspiration. Successful viral marketing campaigns have five distinct characteristics: they are fun or intriguing, they are attached to a product that is easy to use, or highly visible, they are well targeted, they are associated with a credible source and combine technologies (Dobele, Toleman & Beverland, 2005). When examining the motives for forwarding viral advertisements, Phelps and colleagues (2004) suggest that the desire to "do good" by email forwarders makes viral marketing for social causes particularly attractive. Two thousand people were sent an ad with a physical activity message, with a link to a subsequent website with further physical activity information. Web metrics for each message were recorded, as well as click throughs to the related physical activity promotion website. A follow up survey was emailed to participants to determine demographic information, reactions to the ad, forwarding behaviour and physical activity levels. Initial results show that a viral effect was not established, because the number of views did not exceed 2000. Regardless of this, for a minimum outlay (<$5000), the ads were viewed a total of 1800 times, with 704 people clicking through to access the physical activity website. The cost per customer visiting the website was $7.10. Further analysis is currently being undertaken to determine the reaction of subjects to the ad, and if this is related to their physical activity levels and orwarding behaviour. A full analysis will be presented at the conference.

Medgate: Technology in Achieving Total Worker Health

The Windsdor Consulting Group, Inc.

Technology can be combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities. These newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with community resources for health education, health fairs, and other services. Using both technology and performance metrics can provide useful data regarding the workforce and psychosocial stress and the risk of an uneventful outcome.

Medullan

Current trends have expanded the role that people play in monitoring, managing, and making decisions about their health. Whether people are selecting the right health insurance plan, evaluating treatment options, or trying to comprehend and gain actionable insight from complex medical tests or their own fitness data, they are often faced with complex and unfamiliar information and data. Failure to make sense of this information can lead to anxiety, poor decisions, and missed learning opportunities. User experience professionals have an important role to play in improving health care by facilitating comprehension, clarity and actionable insight. In this session we will discuss how to design experiences that support complex decisions and sense-making in the healthcare space. You’ll learn how different types of users approach diverse health information and offer you practical guidance on how to improve their experiences.

This document discusses the importance of having a drug and alcohol policy in the workplace. It outlines key elements that should be included in a policy, such as education programs, testing protocols, and consequences for testing positive. The document also presents a scenario where an employee's work performance declines and they report having a drug/alcohol dependency. It argues that occupational health can play an important role by providing case management, clear advice to employers, and ensuring employees receive appropriate treatment and support. Engaging occupational health services can help create a holistic approach to support both the employee and the organization.

The document discusses using iPads in virtual youth health clinics in Northland, New Zealand. It describes a pilot program between the PHO, DHB and Vodafone NZ to use iPads for virtual clinics, peer review, case management and professional development. A survey found that both youth and providers found the iPads acceptable to use and that they improved communication. However, the current solutions have challenges. An ideal product would allow information to transfer between different medical records systems, be easy and quick to use for various health screenings and questionnaires, and be configurable by users to adapt to different youth needs over time.

Session 6 - Presentation by UNIDO

OECD Environment

The document summarizes the results of a survey of 47 Georgian SMEs about opportunities and barriers to promoting resource efficiency and cleaner production (RECP) financing. Key findings include: 1) Most companies think they can improve resource efficiency but need training and information on new technologies. 2) Companies are willing to finance profitable RECP projects themselves but are reluctant to take loans due to high interest rates and economic instability. They need assistance accessing low-cost financing and grants. 3) Lack of financial resources was the primary reason cited for only partially or not implementing RECP projects proposed through UNIDO's demonstration project. Tighter regulations were seen as a way to increase RECP project demand.
