| The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) includes “Organization of Work” in its priority research areas. Research on how the organization of work is changing, the safety and health implications of those changes and intervention effectiveness studies are considered needed by the NORA Organization of Work team. Few industries in the U.S. have undergone more sweeping changes over the past decade than the health care industry. Furthermore, national statistics reflect a high prevalence of occupational illness and injury in healthcare workers. This panel will focus primarily on the dissemination and discussion of studies looking at the impact of organization of work in healthcare. | ||||
