This book was released on 2012 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The number of occupational injuries occurring to agricultural workers is likely underreported and difficult to quantify. Available data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the rate of fatal and non-fatal injury to agricultural workers is as high or higher than any other private sector of industry in the U.S. (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010a, 2010b). Despite the need felt by state and national entities, a comprehensive surveillance program has not been established to systematically capture and report injuries as they occur (NORA Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishing Sector Council, 2008; Ohio Commission on the Prevention of Injury, 2003). The study covers a ten-year period in Ohio (1999-2008). Insurance claims were extracted based on type of occupation of the worker and each claim was reviewed to determine its relationship to agriculture. Descriptive analyses were performed on demographic information. The Barell Diagnosis Matrix was used to organize all ICD-9 coded injuries into location and biological damage categories. Claim cost data and return to work time were calculated using existing data with Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. A total of 14,344 injury claims were identified with a mean cost per injury of $6,623. Medical-only claims constituted 82.6% of the dataset. Sprains and strains were the most occurring injury type; upper extremities were the most frequent injury site. A decreasing injury rate was observed from 2001-2008. Nursery Employees and Drivers constituted the majority of injuries reported, followed by Poultry or Egg Producers & Drivers and Florists & Drivers. Logging or Tree Removal - Non-mechanized occupation group reported the highest mean return to work time followed by Gardening - Market or Truck & Drivers.

Download or read book Workers' Compensation Analysis and Reform: Measuring the Effectiveness of Tort Reform Through Analysis of Workers' Compensation written by Joseph Kamau Christopher Bey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates workers' compensation schemes in the United States. First and foremost, the work highlights the lack of literature serving as a critical analysis of workers' compensation from the perspective of the working class. This investigation comprises of three key components: a historical analysis, a legal analysis (analysis of statutory provisions, case law, and constitutional law), and a secondary empirical data analysis. In the historical analysis, this investigation examines the remarkable change in the labor force in the United States since the first workers' compensation laws were introduced in 1902. In the legal analysis, this work explores the statutory provisions and case law used to clarify ambiguous statutory provisions. This study primarily focuses on the effectiveness of workers' compensation, the adequacy of the benefits provided, and the goals and intent of the legislation. This investigation draws comparisons between various jurisdictions within the United States, primarily focusing on the 20 most populous states in the country. This investigation also uses a secondary empirical data analysis component in order to attempt to analyze the effectiveness of workers' compensation schemes and occupational safety and health programs with the statistical data available. From the findings of this analysis, this work provides the most important conclusions and recommendations for reforms.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that protects employees and business owners from the cost of injuries occurring in the workplace. The duration of time a workers' compensation claim remains open largely depends on the type and severity of the injury. This work focuses on statistical analysis and modeling of claim duration for a workers' compensation insurer. A data set for claim duration that included over two million claims spanning from 1915 to 1994 was analyzed. Exploratory data analysis revealed that the distribution of the data was multi-modal with a gap at approximately 55 years and a positive skew. Log linear analysis and modeling was used to understand the association between categorical variables. The EM algorithm was used to fit gamma and normal mixture models to the claim duration data. Log likelihood and AIC values were used to show that a normal mixture provided the best fit for the data. The likelihood ratio test was used to select the number of components in the mixture model. This test indicated the four component normal mixture model was the best model. The Komogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test indicated that the selected model was identical to the population distribution that generated the data. Finally, standard errors of the parameter estimates were reported indicating that little uncertainty existed in the estimates.

Book excerpt: Evidence-based thinking in clinical medicine has impacted greatly on the physician's approach to clinical care. Evidence-Based Dermatology introduces and encourages the concept of evidence-based patient care in dermatology. Incorporating a text that is much more than merely the summary of trial data, the authors worked to explore disease mechanisms and treatments in greater depth and detail in order to provide more insight for the reader. In addition to promoting the understanding of the evidence-based philosophy, the authors have focused on some of the fundamentals in dermatology that need to be approached differently. Issues such as the interpretation of clinical research, disease-oriented evidence versus patient-care evidence, and the use of placebo are examined.

Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.
