Pitney Bowes, Inc.: "Powering the Business by Promoting a Healthy Workforce" is the theme for this global company with 30,000 employees. Integrated health initiatives are described, including on-site medical clinics for primary care and medical surveillance. A 1999 study of the medical clinic initiative revealed savings of at least $ 1.3 million from lower costs of providing medical care and gains in productivity.

Motorola Semiconductor: One challenge facing this business unit was to align the company's existing environmental-health-safety (EHS) infrastructure with recognized EHS management systems, namely, ISO 14001 and OSHA's program. This included demonstration of a risk-based EHS management approach and development of systems' audit process in order to assure compliance, manage risk and encourage improvements.

Brookhaven National Laboratories: "Diagnosis and Treatment of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses - Case Management" is presented. Active case management began in 1997 in response to higher than average lost workday rates and costs. A case management team approach resulted in significant reductions in rates for lost and restricted work days.

Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory: "Hazard Assessment Surveillance System" and "Electronic Medical Record" are recognized as exemplary programs. The former system has been used for about 170,000 patient encounters over 5 years, and the latter system has logged approximately 7000 samples and 2000 exposure assessments over a three-year time period. The results are expedient propagation of information ("enter once") and trending by use of pick lists and relational databases.

National Security Agency: An integrated occupational risk assessment system is recognized by CHAA Examiners as being a highly effective tool for identifying potential health risks and tracking mitigation efforts. (The Agency reapplied and won the CHAA in 2001.)

Eli Lilly and Company: "Leveraging Employer Assets for Improved Health Services." From a company recognized for broad array of excellent employee health programs, "perspective" and "scope" of purpose that lay the groundwork are described.
