[MCOH-EH] Annual Health Fairs

[Shea, Joann]

We still have employees come in during their hire month for their annual update (fit test, TB test) but we eliminated many "low risk" employees over the past year.  The "low risk" employees complete the EHS annual update on-line and it is reviewed by our nurses as they don't need TB  or fit testing.  We no longer do annual biometrics as it was too labor intensive.   We have around 7800 employees.

Our annual health updates on done based on date of hire.  The annual "health fairs" are to  educate on other health concerns.  We currently have about 7500 employees, and last year we
re-designed our flu event into smaller events, because our "flu frenzy the prior year resulted in long wait times. Some of the things I would recommend considering is what needs to be completed,  how many employees
would be in tested, how much staff would you have assisting with the event, how would labs be ordered (if applicable), how would all the results be addressed.

I have worked at 4 hospitals by this time in my career that do an annual "Skills Fair"

I would be curious to know if any hospitals are performing "annual health fairs" or otherwise completing annual health updates one time per year for all staff, as opposed to completed a smaller subset of employees each month.
