Abstract
One of the major issues in Public Health is the effective allocation of resources to appropriate and efficient interventions. Medical surveillance is a part of the complex management of prevention in the Occupational Health and Safety field. The aim of the study is to present the efficacy and effectiveness of medical surveillance through an overview of articles and reviews (only one systematic review) found on scientific electronic databases (PubMed and Embase). Although the literature reports a lack of data, two main themes were selected and discussed: the quality of preventive actions and the cost-effectiveness of medical surveillance. © PI-ME, Pavia 2006.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
