  • 11:45-12:45: Lunch and presentation by our lunch sponsor:  Precision Diagnostics—Utilizing clinical drug testing analytics to identify trends in behavioral health, Jack Kain, PharmD, Clinical Toxicologist, Precision Diagnostics   Mental and substance use disorders (M/SUDs) can be correlated to a substantial amount of emergency department visits and inpatient hospital stays. In fact, it is estimated that 22.5 percent of adults (51.2 million) aged 18 years or older in the United States experienced one more M/SUDs in the past 12 months. In addition, 8.4 million U.S. adults suffered from co-occurring mental disorders and substance use disorders. For example, the occurrence of depression, anxiety or panic disorder is largely found in conjunction with a substance use disorder that is defined by alcohol abuse or illicit drug dependence.  Clinical drug testing provides clinicians with a non-punitive clinical decision support tool to improve outcomes for patients who suffer from mental and substance use disorders. This presentation seeks to educate stakeholders on the utility of clinical drug testing, drug testing analytics and clinical decision support in behavioral health.
  • 12:45 2:15: Designing for Synergy—Building a Wellness Program with Safety in Mind, Leigh Manning, Sr. Safety Management Consultant, SAIF Corporation
  • Where do you begin to develop a wellness effort that strengthens your existing injury prevention efforts rather than draws attention away from safety? How do you know what is right for your company? This session describes the steps in developing a wellness program and provides resources and tools to guide actions at each step, whether the attendee wants to begin a program, to validate she is on the right track with the existing program, or take the existing program to the next level.

The OHSU-BDMS collaboration in occupational health efforts to establish a Center of Excellence in Occupational Health in Southeast Asia is a first of its kind effort to address occupational health standards, informatics, research, wellness and toxicology in Thailand. Karin and Dede will share their piece of this work which have included providing face-to-face training of occupational health nurses, occupational medical physicians, and other occupational health staff in Bangkok. During this informal presentation, gain an overview of the project and priorities, training goals and objectives, and participate in a short demonstration of hands-on practicums. Drake and Montgomery will conclude the discussion by sharing their perspectives on the similarities and differences between occupational health nursing and industrial hygiene in the U.S. and in Thailand.
