Abstract

This project presents a history of occupational medicine and workers' compensation laws in the United States as a prelude to discussing the development of computer systems in occupational health. The history of a private corporate health service is outlined and the development of a management information system for that corporate health service is discussed. A computer instruction manual developed for the management information system is included. The results of an evaluation of the billing system, a major component of the management information system, indicate that the majority of the clients of the corporate health service are pleased with the system.
