The occupational physician as corporate chief health officer.
In this era of skyrocketing health care costs, the author makes a case for corporations to include a chief health officer on their top management team. The CHO would preferably be an occupational medicine physician who can manage the delivery of health care and who can develop a corporate culture of health that promotes wellness and the prevention of disability and injury.
