This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Naval Occupational Health Information Management System (NOHIMS) software. It also describes how to create site baseline systems, daily operations and control, communications, and other system software. The following are key objectives of the Navy Occupational Health Information Management System (NOHIMS): 1) Creation of a safer and healthier work environment for Navy employees by providing timely notification of exposure results, rapid retrieval of hazardous-material data, and ensuring proper medical monitoring; 2) Elimination of time-consuming manual recordkeeping methods; 3) Standardization of recordkeeping procedures; 4) Integration of Environmental surveillance and Medical monitoring components of the Navy's Occupational Health Program; and 5) Establishment of a Navy-wide data base for epidemiological studies. The purpose of the Initial Software and Data Load Procedures (ISDLP) is to provide a detailed guide for the NOHIMS implementation team and the system manager. This document will attempt to provide information not covered elsewhere, and will provide additional material in areas that are especially complex.
