Electronic Tracking Tool for Hearing Conservation Programs: Mail-Merge Your Way to Success

LtCol Angela Williamson

Most audiology programs include an overview course on hearing conservation. Unfortunately, it won't provide the necessary training to fulfill your duties as a military hearing conservationist. This presentation will provide you with an electronic toolkit, from one HSI lauded hearing conservation program, to allow you to better fulfill these duties. Topics covered include reviewing records, fitness and risk evaluations, managing the hearing conservation program and resources. The tools described can be adapted to any setting, and require intermediate knowledge of Word, Access and/or Excel.
