title: Occupational medicine and worker's compensation in Oklahoma.
abstract: The worker's compensation system in Oklahoma is the product of a long history of evolution involving influences from social, legal, political, cultural, and economic realms. This process of adaptation continues today. Most recently the system was amended effective November 1986. The basic principles of a worker's compensation program are important, as well as the new changes resulting from recent reforms.
