Occupational health case management is unique in that it focuses on the mutually beneficial relationship between the employee and the employer. Certified occupational health nurses routinely communicate with employees, employers, health care providers and others to modify work tasks to accommodate changes in health status. Certified occupational health nurses are involved in direct care and / or refer to a full range of qualified health care specialists, while maintaining a perspective on the best care at the right time, by the right provider, and delivered at an appropriate cost. All of these activities are role functions of occupational health case managers.

This certification program is one means to demonstrate expertise in the area of occupational health nursing case management.

The credential awarded is COHN / CM or COHN-S / CM. Only those nurses who have met all of the criteria (have been successful on the examination and are in Active Status with ABOHN) are entitled to use this credential.
