Definition

A set of medical examinations and tests that a person must undergo to enable possible health risks to be recognized, treated and, if need be, prevented. Health surveillance protocols are, for example, necessary when a new employee is hired, or when a person is exposed to certain agents on the job or at the workplace.

Use

There are certain examinations assigned to health surveillance protocols that are required as part of the protocol procedure.

As all health surveillance protocols must be performed within certain time periods, examination types are assigned to them in the SAP system.
