Organizations are required to report to federal agencies such as OSHA or EPA and comply with Occupational Heath and Environment, health and safety (EHS) regulations. Without the aid of an Occupational Health Software and EHS Software solutions such as Knorr Associates DataPipe, keeping track of the data can be a hassle, and actually cost an organization time and money. While most EHS software solutions are run on a desktop computer or laptop, Knorr Associates offers the ability to collect data via a PDA or hand-held device. The DataPipe questionnaires module allows a user to create custom surveys, audits and questionnaires. The user has total control over what the questions are, the question types, the order in which they are arranged, and so forth. The questionnaires can be downloaded to a PDA or hand-held and used out in the field to collect data. The responses can be immediately synced back to the main database.
DataPipe's mobile questionnaires module can be applied for use in administering medical surveys and histories. This way the individual filling out the survey only needs access to the PDA and not the data management tool itself, thus eliminating a data security risk. OSHA has posted a list of sample medical history questions here. Medical questionnaires are a vital part to any companies occupational health records, not only do they allow for easy access to medical information on a patient, they can also help to identify problems. Administering questionnaires without a mobile solution can be a hassle time consuming. The DataPipe mobile questionnaires would eliminate the need to type, print, and handwrite these questions along with their answers. Instead, the questionnaire will be collected on the PDA/Hand-held and synced in only a matter of minutes.
