While occupational health is a provincial jurisdiction, harmonizing data in addition to sharing data on successful prevention measures and best practices may improve workplace conditions and thereby further reduce injury rates for higher risk healthcare sector occupations. [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100] Health Canada commissioned this study to obtain an overview of trends in workers' compensation claims and provincial-level prevention initiatives in order to gain insight into successful strategies for improving working conditions in healthcare. Timeloss injury and occupational disease data for 1992-2002 were collected from the National Work Injuries Statistics Program (NWISP) compiled by the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC).	./cache/cord-339058-jtj12571.txt	./txt/cord-339058-jtj12571.txt
