[MCOH-EH] Question

[Diane Shaw]

We switched to IGRA blood draws instead. More costly up front, put saved labor hours chasing down staff for the second step, eliminated the inconvenience of returning to have the TST read, and also eliminated any errors in reading the TST.

I am new in the Employee Health position.  I am looking for suggestions to improve the 2step TST compliance.  Currently New hires are screened and  the first step test is given with instruction to return following orientation for 2nd step.  This process does not seem efficient as I am constantly chasing down employees for their 2nd step! Any help would be appreciated.
