COVID-19 relationship based on essential worker status
Essential worker is defined as one who performs a duty or work during an emergency that cannot be performed remotely or is required to be completed at the work site; AND provides a service that the essential employer determines to be essential or critical to its operations.
CDC ODH Data Model
Purpose:
To support community health centers in identifying, screening and treating patients with occupational exposures
To support public health surveillance in occupational health
To provide a brief, feasible and EHR-enabled, standards-based approach to ODH

ODH Employment Status Elements and Definition
Employed | A person is considered employed if they worked for at least one hour during the past week, with or without pay. They could have worked for a business, the government, or them self in their own business, farm, or professional arrangement. A person who did not work in the past week is still considered employed if they were temporarily absent from their job but will return. |
Not in Labor Force | A person who has no job and is not looking for one. |
Unemployed | A person who does not work right now but has been trying to find work. |
Integration Approaches:
Access to and use of NAICS and SOC code systems
NIOSH extensions, use of terminology hierarchy to direct selection of most appropriate code
Existing EHR-based data element alignment
SDOH section on occupational status/role
SMART on FHIR vs Creating New/Realign Existing Data Elements natively
Testing Plan:
Identify metrics of use/data capture
Apply alpha test procedure with dev team
Identify 1-3 sample users from each user category to perform beta testing
Identify pilot site(s) for rollout after beta test
Extract and examine metrics for use/data capture
Plan/timeline to scale to entire organization
Sample Training Materials and Training Plan:
One pager or card for staff
Short video on ODH for CHCs
Training sessions for primary data capture users
Applications of ODH:
Identifying Patients who are Essential Workers for COVID-19 risk evaluation or prevention/treatment
Identifying Patients at Risk for a Specific Occupational Health-related Condition: to trigger screening or counseling
Administrative purposes like Worker’s Compensation or claims related to occupational exposure
Using ODH to support treatment or counseling for existing medical condition that could be affected by occupational exposure
