työterveysrekisteri

The Työterveysrekisteri, or Occupational Health Register, is a national register in Finland that collects information on occupational health services provided to employees. It is maintained by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (Työterveyslaitos). The register aims to monitor the scope and quality of occupational health care, identify trends, and support research and development in the field.

Data in the Työterveysrekisteri includes information about the employers, employees, and the occupational health service providers. It covers details such as the type of services provided, the number of employees covered, and certain health-related data, anonymized to protect individual privacy. The information is collected from occupational health care providers and employers.

The Työterveysrekisteri serves several key purposes. It provides valuable statistics for national health policy and planning, helping to assess the effectiveness of occupational health interventions and identify areas needing improvement. Researchers utilize the data to study work-related health issues, risk factors, and the impact of different preventive measures. It also helps in overseeing the statutory provision of occupational health care in Finland. Access to the register's data is regulated to ensure data protection and confidentiality.
