INTRODUÇÃO: Os Centros de Referência para Imunobiológicos Especiais (CRIEs) são unidades de vacinação públicas e gratuitas que disponibilizam vacinas e imunoglobulinas não disponíveis na rotina do Programa Nacional de Imunizações (PNI), para indivíduos que necessitam de imunobiológicos específicos, mediante prescrição médica. Também realizam atendimento de pessoas com eventos adversos pós-vacinação (EAPV). É um subprograma do PNI, criado em 1993. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a implantação dos CRIEs quanto ao cumprimento de diretrizes e regulamentações formais. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada uma avaliação de programa do tipo pesquisa avaliativa e para isso, desenvolvido um questionário on-line, contendo 170 questões, envolvendo as dimensões \"estrutura\", \"recursos humanos\" e \"atividades desenvolvidas\". Os responsáveis pelos 42 CRIEs existentes em 2011 participaram do estudo. A fim de agrupar serviços com características semelhantes, foi aplicado o método de agrupamento para dados binários, utilizando a Distância Euclidiana Quadrática (pelo método do vizinho mais distante - complete linkage). RESULTADOS: Foi evidenciada uma grande diversidade entre os serviços nas três dimensões analisadas. Treze CRIEs (31%) estavam localizados em instituição universitária; 29 (69%) possuíam o mínimo de salas preconizado; 29 (69%) relataram insuficiência de equipamentos para armazenamento de imunobiológicos; 22 (52%) não realizavam manutenção preventiva da rede de frio; 30 (71%) possuíam gerador elétrico; 24 (57%) tinham fonte de oxigênio. O número de funcionários variou de três a 21; quatro serviços não tinham enfermeiros e nove não tinham médicos; 23 (55%) possuíam médico em período maior ou igual à metade do expediente; 27 (64%) tinham recursos humanos treinados para atender emergências. O número de doses de imunobiológicos administrados aumentou 66% de 2006 a 2010. Trinta e cinco serviços (83%) funcionavam 40 horas semanais ou mais. Acerca do atendimento de EAPV, 28 (67%) CRIEs contavam com retaguarda laboratorial, 36 (86%) com retaguarda hospitalar e 36 (86%) com retaguarda de especialistas. A análise estatística resultou em cinco \"perfis\" de serviços, denominados de acordo com suas características. 1) \"Melhor estrutura\": 12 CRIEs com a maior porcentagem de serviços com o mínimo de salas preconizado, câmaras de vacinas, manutenção preventiva da rede de frio e fonte de oxigênio. 2) \"Dispensador de imunobiológicos\": 6 CRIEs que mais dispensavam do que aplicavam imunógenos; nenhum serviço tinha médico mais da metade do expediente; nenhum serviço possuía câmaras de vacinas. 3) \"Implantação incipiente\": 5 CRIEs com estrutura mais precária, com baixos índices de câmaras de vacinas, manutenção preventiva e fonte de oxigênio; nenhum possuía computador. 4) \"Sala de vacinas\": 13 CRIEs, todos faziam imunização de rotina e a maioria participava de campanhas de vacinação. 5) \"Ensino e pesquisa\": 6 serviços, todos inseridos em hospitais de ensino, desenvolviam pesquisas e recebiam estagiários. Quase todos possuíam médicos em mais da metade do expediente e tinham manutenção preventiva da rede de frio. CONCLUSÃO: Diante da variabilidade de situações, a avaliação de implantação dos CRIEs foi avaliada por perfil: \"melhor estrutura\" e \"ensino e pesquisa\" foram considerados implantados; \"dispensador de imunobiológicos\" e \"sala de vacinas\", parcialmente implantados; \"implantação incipiente\", não implantados / INTRODUCTION: The Reference Centers for Special Immunobiologicals (Centros de Referência para Imunobiológicos Especiais, CRIEs) are public vaccination clinics that provide vaccines and immunoglobulins not routinely available in the National Immunization Program (NIP) to persons with special needs, free of charge, by medical prescription. These centers also provide medical assistance for persons with adverse events following immunization (AEFI). The CRIEs were established in 1993, by the Brazilian NIP. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the implementation of CRIEs on its compliance to formal policies and regulations. METHODS: This is a program evaluation, type \"evaluative research\". We developed an on-line questionnaire, with 170 questions, involving the dimensions: \"structure\", \"human resources\" and \"developed activities\". The persons in charge of the 42 CRIEs in activity in 2011 were invited to participate in this study. A statistical analysis was performed to group services with similar characteristics, applying the binary data\'s grouping method, by using the Quadratic Euclidean Distance (by the method of the farthest neighbor - complete linkage). RESULTS: A great diversity was observed among services, in the three dimensions. Thirteen (31%) CRIEs were in university premises; 29 (69%) had the minimum recommended spaces; 29 (69%) reported insufficiency of equipment for immunobiologicals storage; 22 (52%) did not conduct preventive maintenance of the cold chain; 30 (71%) had power generator; 24 (57%) had oxygen supply. The number of professionals varied from three to 21; four services did not have nurses and nine did not have doctors; 23 (55%) had doctors for at least half of working hours; 27 (64%) had human resources trained in emergency. The number of administered doses of immunobiologicals increased 66% from 2006 to 2010. Thirtyfive (83%) CRIEs were open at least 40 hours/week. Regarding care to AEFI, 28 (67%) CRIEs had laboratory support, 36 (86%) had hospital reference, and 36 (86%) had reference experts. The statistical analysis showed five service profiles, nominated according to their characteristics. 1) \"Best structure\": 12 CRIEs with the best index of the minimal recommended spaces, vaccine storage chambers, preventive maintenance of the cold chain and oxygen supply. 2) \"Distribution centers\": 6 CRIEs that, mainly, delivered immunobiologicals to be administered in other services; none with a physician for at least half of the opening hours; none with vaccine storage chamber. 3) \"Incipient implementation\": 5 CRIEs with an overall poorer infrastructure; only some had vaccine storage chambers, preventive maintenance of the cold chain and oxygen supply; none of them had computer. 4) \"Vaccination Room\": These 13 CRIEs administered routine immunization; most of them participated in immunization campaigns. 5) \"Teaching and research\": 6 CRIEs in teaching hospitals, performed research and received trainees; almost all of them had physicians for at least half of the working hours and preventive maintenance of the cold chain. CONCLUSION. Considering the services\' diversity, the implementation of CRIES was evaluated according to the different profiles: \"Best structure\" and \"Teaching and research\" were considered implemented; \"Distribution centers\" and \"Vaccination Rooms\", partially implemented; and \"Incipient implementation\", not implemented

Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. (Dalajláma) The wealth of business depends on the health of workers. (Dr Maria Neira, Director, Department of Public Health and Environment, World Health Organization) The aim of the thesis on the topic "KPMG -- a healthy workplace" is to analyze the current state of KPMG as the Company supporting health. The thesis suggest changes to be improved in the future - and a long-term strategic plan. Using the method of analysis of the state were discussed several factors that affect the health of employees in the workplace. The author of the thesis advanced in the analysis through the "Quality Criteria for Healthy Workplace," which were created by the National Health Institute for the title of Health Promoting Enterprise. In conclusion of the thesis the author proposes a health promotion plan (Health Plan) and submits the possible path KPMG might take if it seeks to establish a clear Health Plan which could become a fixed part of the enterprise's business goals and values.

The comprehensive cancer control approach is used by state, tribes, tribal organizations, territorial and Pacific Island Jurisdiction cancer coalitions to spur local implementation of cancer plans to reduce the burden of cancer in jurisdictions across the country. There is a rich diversity of models and approaches to the development of relationships and scope of planning for cancer control activities between coalitions and advocates in local communities. The national comprehensive cancer control philosophy provides an operational framework while support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention enables coalitions to act as catalysts to bring local partners together to combat cancer in communities. This manuscript describes multiple characteristics of cancer coalitions and how they are organized. Two models of how coalitions and local partners collaborate are described. A case study method was used to identify how five different state and tribal coalitions use the two models to organize their collaborations with local communities that result in local implementation of cancer plan priorities. Conclusions support the use of multiple organizing models to ensure involvement of diverse interests and sensitivity to local cancer issues that encourages implementation of cancer control activities.

The construction industry is a large industry with approximately 320,000 employees according to the Swedish construction industry. As the work environment at construction sites affects a large number of individuals, it is important that there is good security at the construction sites, in order to reduce and prevent workers in the construction industry from being injured. The work thesis has been carried out in collaboration with Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB with the aim of creating better conditions for work environment and strategic safety work at Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB's construction sites, as well as highlighting risks and safety aspects. This qualitative study has been carried out at Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB, where semi-structured interviews and observations were conducted to then use the information as the foundation of the study. The work has also been based on reviewed literature studies in the form of pre-review. In order to have a good working environment and safety at the construction sites, a number of factors are involved. The study shows that time, cleaning, communication, education and experience are the factors that have the greatest impact on the work environment and safety. According to some of Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB's workforce, there will always be deficiencies in safety, while some claim that a "zero vision" is possible to reach, so far no occupational accidents has occurred at Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB's construction sites, however, it seems that the subject does not get enough time, resources and like to prevent future accidents with "safety-first". The Work Environment Authority requires employers to systematically work with environment and safety issues with a vision of "zero tolerance", in which is strengthened by the work environment act. The interviews show that the viewpoint of the working environment differs depending on what perspective is being analyzed, for example, the supervisor has a wider perspective and greater responsibility whilst the professional worker has more narrow perspective and less responsibility. The survey shows that planning and preventive work can prevent workplace accidents with a systematic follow-up. In order for professionals and supervisors to understand the risks and preventive work they should be educated and thus gain an awareness of the problem. Improvement needs to create more awareness and prevention for work environment and safety with "safety deadline" have always been a goal to reach. One hope is that the working environment and security policy will contribute to improved security at the company's construction sites. systematic environmental work simplified by existing routines in environmental work for construction workers, leads to increased workplace safety and fewer occupational accidents. / Byggbranschen är en stor bransch med ca 320 000 sysselsatta personer enligt Sveriges byggindustrier. Då arbetsmiljön på byggarbetsplatserna påverkar ett stort antal individer är det viktigt att det råder en god säkerhet på byggarbetsplatserna, för att minska och förhindra att de anställda inom byggbranschen inte kommer till skada.Examensarbetet har utförts i samarbete med Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB i syfte att skapa bättre förutsättningar för arbetsmiljö och säkerhetsarbete ute på Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB:s byggarbetsplatser samt att belysa risker och säkerhetsaspekter. Kvalitativa studie har utförts på Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB:s byggarbetsplatser där semi-strukturerade intervjuer och observationer utförts för att sedan använda informationen som grundpelare i studien.För att det ska råda god arbetsmiljö och säkerhet på byggarbetsplatserna spelar ett flertal faktorer in. Studiens resultat visar att tid, städning, kommunikation, utbildning och erfarenhet är de faktorer som har störst inverkan på arbetsmiljön och säkerheten. Enligt en del av yrkesarbetarna på Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB kommer det alltid att finnas brister inom säkerheten medan en del påstår att en ”noll-vision” är möjlig att nå. Tuna Förvaltning & Entreprenad AB:s ett ungt företag och hittills har inga större arbetsolyckor inträffat på deras byggarbetsplatser. Emellertid tycker en del att ämnet inte får tillräckligt med tid, resurser och dylikt för att förhindra framtida olyckor med ”safety first”. Arbetsmiljöverket ställer krav på att arbetsgivaren skall arbeta systematiskt med arbetsmiljö och säkerhetsfrågor med en vision om ”noll-tolerans” vilket styrks av arbetsmiljölagen.Intervjuerna visar att synen på arbetsmiljön skiljer sig åt beroende på vilket perspektiv som analyseras, exempelvis har arbetsledare ett bredare perspektiv och större ansvar medan yrkesarbetaren har ett smalare perspektiv och mindre ansvar.Undersökningen visar att planering och förebyggande arbete kan förhindra arbetsplatsolyckor med ett systematiskt uppföljningsarbete. För att yrkesarbetare och arbetsledare skall ha förståelse för risker och förebyggande arbete bör de utbildas och därmed erhålla en medvetenhet kring problemet.Förbättringsbehov föreligger när det gället att skapa mer medvetenhet och ha ett förebyggande syfte för arbetsmiljö och säkerhet med ”safety first”. En förhoppning är att en bättre arbetsmiljö och en ny upprättad säkerhetspolicy kommer att bidra till en förbättrad säkerhet på företagets byggarbetsplatser. Det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet med förbättrad befintliga rutiner i arbetsmiljöarbetet för byggnadsarbetare bör leda till ökad säkerhet på arbetsplatsen samt undvika arbetsolyckor.

Due to physical, cognitive and emotional impairments, many individuals are unemployed or under-employed following a traumatic brain injury. The research evidence links the rigour of a vocational evaluation to future employment outcomes. Despite this link, no specific guidelines exist for vocational evaluations. Using the research evidence and a diverse panel of clinical and academic experts, the primary objective of this doctoral research was to develop an inter-professional clinical practice guideline for vocational evaluation following traumatic brain injury. The objective of the guideline is to make explicit the processes and factors relevant to vocational evaluation, to assist evaluators (i.e. clients, health and vocational professionals, and employers) in collaboratively determining clients’ work abilities and developing recommendations for work entry, re-entry or vocational planning. The steps outlined in the Canadian Medical Association's Handbook on Clinical Practice Guidelines were utilized to develop the guideline and include the following: 1) identifying the guideline’s objective/questions; 2) performing a systematic literature review; 3) gathering a panel; 4) developing recommendations; 4) guideline writing; 5) pilot testing. The resulting guideline includes 17 key recommendations within the following seven domains: 1) evaluation purpose and rationale; 2) initial intake process; 3) assessment of the personal domain; 4) assessment of the environment; 5) assessment of occupational/job requirements; 6) analysis and synthesis of assessment results; and 7) development of evaluation recommendations. Results from an exploratory study of the guideline’s implementation by occupational therapists in their daily practices revealed that clinicians used the guideline to identify practice gaps, systematize their evaluation processes, enhance inter-professional and inter-stakeholder communication, and re-conceptualize their vocational evaluations across disability groups. Statistically significant improvements were also noted in clients’ participation scores on the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory–4 following guideline use. This guideline may be applicable to individuals with TBI, clinicians, health and vocational professionals, employers, professional organizations, administrators, policy makers and insurers.
