AB  - Disease  surveillance  in  the  context  of  occupational  health  focuses  on  acute  and  chronic  illnesses  attributable  primarily  to  work.  While  fragmented  and  incomplete  in  the  United  States,  these  systems  provide  important  information  on  patterns  of  work-related  illness  within  occupations  and/or  industries,  opportunities  for  prevention,  and  measures  of  intervention  effectiveness.  There  is  growing  interest  in  broader  disease  surveillance  among  working  populations,  focused  on  chronic  diseases,  which  interfere  with  productivity  and  drive  health  care  costs.  This  places  less  emphasis  on  work  as  a  causative  factor  but  enhances  awareness  of  work  and  the  workplace  as  an  opportunity  for  intervention  and  prevention.
