[MCOH-EH] Pre-Placement Physicals RE: MCOH-EH Digest, Vol 251, Issue 61

Like Dr. Galaid we do not perform full pre-placement physicals. We have one advanced practice provider and 40 BSN or MSN registered nurses that perform the pre-placement evaluations. They review the health history form and OSHA respiratory questionnaire and refer red flags to the APP or one of our occupational health physicians.
 
Be well.

When I came here in 2014, I revamped the medical and occupational history forms that are completed by job candidates, and reviewed by our nurses.  They are not APPs.  They flag issues of concern for me to review.  Sometimes I will see the candidates personally, and sometimes I do a telehealth visit.  Vitals, visual acuity, respiratory protection program are all run by the nurses, with me as backup.

Have pretty much gotten away from the full blown exam like we did "back in the day."

We do not have anyone here who is a 'mid level'.
We do have professional registered nurses who are responsible for pre-employment screening and a seasoned OH APRN for any complex or unusual situations.

We used to perform pre-placement physical examinations - performed by either a physician (MD) or NP/PA with an RN doing immunization/ TB review.  We now only require a pre-placement health assessment and these can be fully completed by an RN.  I still complete many of these, but there is no longer a physical examination (eyes, ears, heart lung, etc. ) assessment/evaluation component.  What makes these processes different:  definition and components of an assessment versus an exam.

Since many nurses receive in depth education in physical assessment, it is within the scope of practice nationwide for nurses with this level of education to do hands on exams. Indeed, many Occupational Health nurses do these often.

Our preplacement physicals are done by physicians and MLP's; this includes detailed medical/work/immunization history.
Nurses perform all pre-employment testing and give immunizations if needed.

I don't think nurses should be performing hands-on physical exams; I believe this was part of the question in the initial email.
