We do the same at UMass and perform paper medical clearance except when there are red flags on the medical questionnaire. We keep the records in EHS.
Not sure if it is a Joint Commission standard but medical records for employee or volunteer should be protected.

In many areas of the hospitals volunteers are replacing paid employees in some functions and the same risks apply.

Interested in this as well but for disasters.  We treat volunteers of hospitals here as if  employees normally  for onboarding and annual TB testing, flu shots, etc. Warner

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Hospital volunteer heatlh records

 

Does anyone know of any Joint Commission Standards about maintaining hospital volunteer worker’s health records? Are they maintained and stored by Employee Health, or the Director of Volunteer Services, who is a non-clinical person?

 

Thanks!
