At Cincinnati Children's Hospital we use the rapid urine screen and only
send the positive ones out for confirmation. The rapid screen indicates
temperature and we use the adulterant strip.
Thank you for your email.

That is what we do. We use Cal-stat, but it's a rapid results drug screen
and we use an adulteration strip to validate it hasn't been altered, and
of course check the temp. We consider all this negative and only send out
the non-negative for the Cal-stat (drugs) or if the adulteration strip is
out of range (usually this one is specific gravity).

I was wondering if anyone had any input on Rapid urine drug screening
(I-cup) onsite collection and testing versus collecting the specimen and
sending to a testing lab. There is a significant cost savings by only
sending the "NON-Negatives" to the lab for testing. Is there any
regulation or requirements that I would need to be concerned with if I
handled ALL of my new hire screens the same way.

Bruce,
Congratulations on the retirement. Could you possibly re-sent the EMR
survey results you did? I would really appreciate it.

I wanted to announce to the group that I am retiring my Health and Safety
Position at Marshfield Clinic. I plan to continue to get this list at my
home, so I will at least be able to keep up with all the fascinating
issues the group discusses.
I wanted to express my great appreciation for all the information the
group has provided over the years. Having this group to bounce things off
of has really assisted me in the development of programs for my facility.
