New tools for healthcare professionals to manage mobile and multi-locational workers
Digitally supported informing, advising and guiding practices for occupational health care to serve mobile and multi-locational workers and their organizations – DigiTANO (2016-2018)
Occupational health cares have the need to modify and develop some of their informing, advising and guiding practices (prescribed in the Finnish Occupational Health Care Act) to reach and serve mobile multi-locational workers in distributed organizations and project groups.
