A s financial resources have become progressively more scarce and the competition for health-related allocations has increased, the focus of health policy has shifted from issues of availability, accessibility, and adequacy to that of cost containment. The result of this shift is an alteration of organizational, financial, and professional structures which has the potential of dramatically influencing all practice areas (Burner, 1986). The challenge to occupational health nursing is great and immediate: quantifying and articulating the contribution of occupational health nursing to a business organization's "bottom line" is the most critical task facing the specialty today. Occupational health nursing has enjoyed a period of relatively unquestioned support, credibility, and high acceptance for the value of its practice. With the escalating fiscal constraints experienced by most industries, however, every cost center is receiving scrutiny from the perspective of the financial return provided on the company's investment. The goals of this article are to summarize the current research that supports the claim of cost-effectiveness of occupational health nursing and to identify the work that is yet to be accomplished in providing evidence of the economic contributions of occupational health nursing.
