Subject: [MCOH-EH] For cause/reasonable suspicion testing after hours

At our institution, Occ Health Services is a M-F 7am-5pm operation, and the ED provides our back up after hours for workplace injuries.  However, it is difficult for them to provide qualified, trained collectors for forensic drug and alcohol testing.  Thus, we are working on other options, and would like to benchmark with what others are doing.  So, I'm interested in knowing what your institution does for nights/weekends when a medical center employee is being evaluated for cause/reasonable suspicion.  Which of the following applies at your institution, and how happy are you with how that works?

(a) The ED provides for specimen collection (if so, how has that been working out with CCF, collection QA, etc?)

(b) We send employees to a nearby 24/7 occ health clinic outside our medical center

(c) Our medical center provides occ health services 24/7

(d) We have occ health staff on call 24/7 to come in for collection

(e) We have trained collectors available on site at our medical center from other departments (e.g. an administrative supervisor)

(f) We have an outside mobile service come on site to perform collections

(g) We do not test after hours, and refer the individual to OHS the next business day.

(h) Other?
