Center of Excellence in Occupational Health (OREGON OHSU)
Efforts to establish a Center of Excellence in Occupational Health in Southeast Asia is a first of its kind effort to address
occupational health standards, informatics, research, wellness and toxicology in Thailand. This center will allow BDMS
and OHSU to be a regional and global trend setter in these important focus areas.
A needs assessment was completed in 2015 to comprehensively understand local priorities in SE Asia in
occupational health given the rapid growth of industries in Thailand. As a result of this assessment, BDMS
and OHSU have decided to conduct trainings in functional capacity evaluations, toxicology, occupational health
nursing, industrial hygiene and human health and productivity management. More, as a result of Thailand's robust
annual health checkup screenings, OHSU has worked with BDMS to create a web based informatics database to allow
for real-time health status feedback to patients as well as comprehensive reports for industries to prioritize workplace
health interventions. It is the hope of this Center of Excellence that the lives of thousands of Thai workers will be
improved through the enhanced health information collection, analysis and interventions put in place as a result of this
collective effort.
