The NIOSH Industry and Occupation Computerized Coding System (NIOCCS) is a web-based software tool designed to efficiently, accurately, and uniformly translate industry and occupation (I&O) text found on employment, vital statistics, and health records to standardized I&O codes. The system was developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and released for public use in December 2012.
This system is used by occupational health researchers, federal government agencies, state health departments, and other organizations that collect and/or evaluate information using industry and occupation. Its purpose is to provide a tool that reduces the high cost of manually coding I&O information while simultaneously improving uniformity of the codes. I&O data from health surveys, such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, death certificates, electronic health records, and cancer registries have been coded via NIOCCS.
NIOCCS is available free of charge and requires only internet access and a web browser for use. All users are required to register for a NIOCCS account if they wish to upload files of records for coding.
This demonstration is for anyone who would like to use or is interested in NIOCCS to code I&O data or to learn its features. Some of the primary system features to be shown and explained include: Industry and Occupation Coding, Crosswalk I&O Coding and User Support.
