title: Occupational health transfer of records.
abstract: Corporate mergers, downsizing and buy-outs can have an impact on the practice of occupational health nurses. With these changes, occupational health departments are frequently transferred to a new corporation, or existing occupational health services may be eliminated. This can create multiple dilemmas for the employer, employee and for the occupational health nurse who is the custodian of the employee's health records.
