{Straight talk for clients}
Welcome to our inaugural Agility Flash
Each quarter we’ll work with our in-house experts and trusted industry affiliates to share some thoughts on the current buzz in Employee Health, Occupational Medicine, and Urgent Care. You each face your own challenges in the day-to-day chaos. We’d like to use this forum to share the pain, relay some personal experience, and help you apply those lessons toward improved clinical performance and outcomes via Agility.

March 2015: Soooooo, how did it go?
How was flu season for your clinic this year? Did the Ebola outbreak create a crisis for your organization? Have Measles and Mumps re-emerged in your area? Does the thought of maintaining your OSHA Log make you want to hide under a log?
There are so many mandates and regulatory standards to keep up with that it can make your head spin if you manage or work in a hospital-based employee health program. When accidents, injuries or communicable illnesses strike, you are out in front trying to hold the line to prevent the spread of disease and make the workplace safer for everyone.
In our inaugural Agility Flash, we’d like to provide you with some food for thought regarding surveillance activities and OSHA mandates. Agility can make it easier for you to comply with all those regulatory mandates and record keeping activities.
Something new we’re excited about launching very soon is the Agility Learning Management System (LMS), on-demand information and training that makes new feature/functionality information available to every Agility user at your facility.
In this issue’s Employee Health Department piece, our resident Net Health expert on all things regulatory, Sheila Cougras, recaps the current OSHA regulations and surveillance recommendations pertinent to hospital-based employee health clinics. This information will also be relevant for those of you who provide occupational health services either for your own staff or for other employers you serve.
There’s always an opportunity to learn more about everything presented in these Flashes. Questions related to functionality, recent updates, or scheduling an upgrade can be sent to our Client Services at agilitysupport@nhsinc.com.
