Bibliographic information Aug. 1986, Vol.28, No.8, p.684-686.
Abstract A computerised system using concepts of profiling and problem orientation is described and examples of its use demonstrated. The system contains or accesses files on employee demography, job history and current task lists, inventory of workplace risks categorised as physical, chemical and functional, a master chemical inventory, and individual exposure records. By using systematised Nomenclature of Medicine codes, a complete medical file catalogues all physiological and pathological variables, disease states, and functional responses. Profiling exposures and medical conditions enhances inquiry of the large data base that is accumulated.
