title: Program descriptions: a positive outcome from change.
abstract: 1. Major organizational restructuring was the impetus for standardization of occupational health practice at three hospital sites. 2. A generic framework was devised to describe the key occupational health programs. 3. The process of developing these program descriptions yielded obvious quality assurance monitors. 4. Corporate change often is perceived as threatening. The development of a useful tool through cooperative team effort has produced a positive outcome.
