Management of multisite occupational health services. A hospital/private clinic perspective: changing trends for the 1990s.

A strong regional program can be successful in either a single location or at multiple locations, but it cannot function properly if it is not well organized and staffed properly to deliver services. Extremely important elements to the success of an occupational health clinic that serves a wide geographical region are client retention, a strong information system to manage programs for multiple employers, and cutting-edge leadership that stays in the forefront and educates the business community on emerging issues in occupational health and safety.
