[MCOH-EH] pre-placement process

[Orford, Robert R., M.D.]

Correct. There may be some variation between Mayo sites, but at Mayo in Arizona we do not have an NP. The RNs do the preplacement eval including some basic labs, vision, hearing, health and immunization questionnaire review, TB and fit testing (where needed) and drug testing. A physician is consulted only in areas of concern or for a positive drug test. The physician also does a paper review and signs off on the nurse's eval.

That sounds similar to what the Mayo Clinic does.

Hello all
As with many of our health care systems, we are asked to use resources wisely. I am interested in what you EHS does for pre-placement evaluations. We have traditionally had NP's do the exams. We have the RN;s do the paper clearances for certain positions, with referral to the NP for red flags.

We are thinking about having RN's perform the basic exam and defer to the NP or MD when there are questions.

Thanks,
Phil Adamo
