Abstract
Background
Group occupational health program by non-for-profit agency, started five years ago, for management of health problems in small and medium sized industries, is one of the measures to cope with limited human and financial resources in occupational health. The program has been rapidly expanding to include 54 participating institutions, private as well as public, all over the country. In spite of its potential impact on health of employees and practice of occupational health in small and medium sized industries, comprehensive evaluation in terms of quality has not been tried. Objectives
The aim of this study are to develop and apply criteria to assess quality of newly developed Korean group occupational health program.

Again we divided each elements into five major components of national health system infrastructures developed by World Health Organization; development of health resources organized arrangement or resources, delivery of health care, economic support, and management. In turn, we categorized each component into input, process and outcome aspects. After discussions in expert panel, several criteria were selected for evaluation of program. The criteria were modified according to each group of interviewees.
Results
We developed five sets of questionnaire that evaluate the quality of 'Group occupational health program'.
Conclusion
The refining of the measurement tool and the continuing evaluation process for the 'Group occupational health institute' should be done further.
