Industrial Hygiene (IH) program performance is monitored through metrics derived from the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System–Industrial Hygiene (DOEHRS-IH) database. A complete list of IH metrics is available at https://phpubapps.health.mil/PHMS/​.External Link.

Public Health Management System

IH metrics are available through the Public Health Management System (PHMS). PHMS provides public health professionals at installation, regional, and headquarters levels with visibility of IH metric status and performance.

The following IH metrics are updated monthly in PHMS:

  • ​Facilities Prioritized in DOEHRS-IH
    ​Percentage of facilities assigned an IH priority in DOEHRS-IH, using the Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS) as the denominator.
  • Facilities with Current IH Characterization
    ​Percentage of facilities with a current IH characterization in DOEHRS-IH.
  • ​ High-Risk Workplace Surveys
    Percentage of Army high-risk workplaces for which required baseline or periodic surveys have been completed.
  • High-Risk Workplace Hazard Assessments
    Percentage of hazards associated with Army high-risk workplaces for which a qualitative or quantitative assessment has been completed.


Installation Status Report

Although the Installation Status Report (ISR) is currently suspended until further notice, the monthly status of ISR measures continues to be tracked. Authorized users may retrieve ISR measure status through the PHMS ISR page.


Future Reporting Enhancements

As part of a Department of War initiative to standardize IH service-delivery reporting across the military departments, the Defense Centers for Public Health–Aberdeen Industrial Hygiene Division is collaborating with the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine to develop a dashboard for selected IH metrics.​

IH metric reporting is expected to transition from PHMS to an official CarePoint site soon. Additional IH metrics are being developed within the new reporting system.
