Subject: [External Marketing Email] [MCOH-EH] pre-placement drug and cotinine screening query/poll
My hospital group is starting pre-placement drug and cotinine screening next month and I have the program and policies just about set to go. I am now getting questioned from the GME leaders at our teaching hospitals about inclusion of all interns and residents in this process, and they would like to know what is being done at other academic medical centers.
So three questions:
1. Are you doing pre placement drug screens? YES
2. Do you include cotinine? YES
3. Are all interns/residents/fellows included in the screening? YES
Thanks so much. I will give feedback to the group after I receive the responses.

I am curious as to the policies of other healthcare organizations/systems in regards to allowing staff to work or not work with devices such as, but not limited to, the following:
Casts
Splints (Velcro wrist, finger splints, etc...) Knee Scooters Foot boots Slings
We are considering changing or amending our policy to touch on these situations. As of now, we allow closed toe boots in clinical areas and open toe in others. The others are currently not allowed in any areas for various reasons. Our organization consist of 4 hospitals and several physician offices. The above situations are reviewed on a case by case scenario when worker's comp is involved.
Thank You,
