Same here and it does work well. We use CRL for our rapid drug & cotinine tests and send out for confirmation on any ‘inconclusive’.

We perform urine testing; automatic cup on sight and certified lab for confirmations. It works well.

Same rationale at my organization as Dr. Hudson’s. Also, UDS is cheaper and we get a faster result.

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

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.
