We do UDS in large part because it has been so tested in regulation, courts and science for so long.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Post Offer Hospital Employment Drug Screening

 

List,

 

My hospital administration is reviewing current policy for drug screening.  Currently we perform hair follicle but they are contemplating switching to urine.  What are other facilities doing and, if you would, what was the rationale for the chosen method?

 

Thanks.

 

Ken
