of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Meeting
Name: National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Musculoskeletal
Team and Health Care Focus Group Meeting.
Time and Date: 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., April 27, 1998.
Place: Washington Plaza Hotel, 10 Thomas Circle, NW, Washington DC
20005, telephone 202/371-1300.
Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available.
The meeting room accommodates approximately 50 people.
Purpose: The NORA Musculoskeletal Committee is hosting a series of
meetings to gather information, from a large array of partners,
regarding important needs and issues with respect to prevention of
musculoskeletal disorders in the health care industry. These meetings
will use focus groups to elicit areas of concern as expressed by
representatives of various health care sectors.
The present meeting will address the following sectors:
Acute care,
ambulatory care,
*home health* care, and
long-term care.
The Committee will share with each specific sector a series of
questions helpful in identifying potential research needs. Each sector
will develop their own list of research needs. After the three regional
meetings are completed, the NORA Musculoskeletal Team will combine the
research needs into a consolidated list. The researchers will be asked
to identify research activities which can address research needs
identified at the regional meetings. A separate meeting of
musculoskeletal researchers is proposed for summer 1998.
The goal of these meetings is to develop a research agenda that
reflects the needs and information gaps identified by individuals who
confront musculoskeletal disorders frequently, including those in
industry, labor, and professional and non-professional groups. Output
from the meeting will consist of a research agenda for health care, as
well as transcripts. Meetings will be audio-taped to develop the
transcript of the meeting, and to describe the process as well as the
final outcome. Once the research agenda has been established, work will
begin on the implementation process.
The goal of this process is to include diverse groups in the
process of addressing and examining research needs of musculoskeletal
disorders in the health care field and approaching practical ways of
implementation and funding of this research. The goal is reflected in
the motto of the NORA Musculoskeletal Committee: ``Promote Health and
Reduce Lost Work Time.''
