[MCOH-EH] Preplacement assessment for non patient care

[Morelli, Karen J]

Our healthcare system requires the same for all positions—MMR, varicella and Tb screening.  Hep B is only required if the position is OSHA risk 1 or 2.

Hello,

I am writing to the group to ask if anyone has different preplacement screening requirements for patient contact vs non patient contact staff.  For example, would you require someone from your HR or Finance department to have screening for TB, MMR, varicella?

I have been asked to review our practices and consider reducing the screening requirements for those who would work in an office setting and not interact with patients.

thank you all,
Lisa
