| Summary: | 21 p. "The WHO Regional Office for Europe, in collaboration with the State Social Security Institute, Iceland, the Administration for Safety and Health, Iceland, and the Social Insurance Institution, Finland, organized the meeting to: review developments in the member countries; conduct a small workshop on return-to-work strategies for long-term absentees, based on a European Union project; make further progress on the terms of reference for the Network and other practical tools necessary for its functioning; and make specific proposals for collaboration between the Network members and WHO and other international organizations. Ten countries were represented. The meeting reviewed three joint research project proposals for 2002–2003: prevention of stress-related disorders, integrated workplace health systems, and the use of data on incapacity for work in health monitoring and surveillance. A proposal was also made to prepare a summary report on each member country, covering the responsibilities and organization of social insurance in the area of workplace health promotion. The new name of the Network, “European Insurance Network for Health and Work”, was approved."
