Literature Review

IHPS, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC), is assisting the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety in conducting a systematic literature review focused on the incidence and causes of conditions that adversely impact healthcare worker safety and well-being.

The goal of this project was to conduct an updated literature review on the current and emerging global health risks that can potentially impact bp’s global workforce and provide recommendations to inform the planning process to address these health risks.

IHPS assisted the U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the National 911 Program by conducting a large systematic review of the evidence on EMS and 911 workforce behavioral health issues and occupational stress (i.e., burnout, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide) and interventions to address these challenges.

The Institute conducted a systematic review of workplace health promotion programs that have used the CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard (CDC Scorecard) in designing, implementing, and evaluating workplace programs to understand the CDC ScoreCard’s impact on program delivery and population health outcomes. 

In partnership with Truven Health Analytics, the Institute conducted a literature review to inform productivity-related algorithms to build and customize an ROI Model tool for Staywell Health Management.

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the University of Georgia (UGA), the Institute led a Landscape Assessment of U.S. employers’ Workforce Health, Health Promotion, and Safety (WHHPS) activities to identify the WHHPS components that support efforts to preserve, protect, and improve employee health. 

The Institute and Truven Health conducted a literature review and thought leadership roundtable discussions on implementing initiatives involving incentives to Medicaid beneficiaries. The incentives are designed to encourage participation in health improvement programs and to demonstrate health outcomes, as required by Section 4108 of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
