[MCOH-EH] Rapid drug screening DAILY quaility checks starting 1/1/16

[Employee Health]

Good Morning,

I was wondering for those who use rapid drug screening, what are your doing as of 1/1/16 in regards to the JACHO new regulation that the quality control checks must be done daily?  Using two kits a day (every day a test is performed) just for  quality control will definitely increase costs.  I attached the information received from Joint Commission that our lab forwarded to me.

Both are highlighted in scan
QSA.02.10.01-c 3 addresses the daily checks.
QSA.02.04.01 addresses the alternative of developing a IQCP plan.


So have you changed to send out testing only?

Did you develop a IQCP plan?  If so, how did you go about doing that?


Thank you for any help or advice, it is greatly appreciated!
