[MCOH-EH] Annual Hospital Employee Health Assessment

[Subin, Kenneth MD]

For the List, and in particular, my New York State colleagues:

 

An annual health assessment of hospital employees is required by state
regulations which involves a questionnaire regarding the employee's
current health status.  The regs, as far as I can tell, do not specify
what procedure should follow when an employee indicates on their
questionnaire that they have a medical condition that could interfere
with their job duties.  How are others handling this situation?  Does it
trigger a FFD exam?  If so, who has the authority to mandate that this
exam take place?  In other words, who is ordering the exam?

 

Thanks for any feedback.
