[MCOH-EH] Color Vision

[Johnson, Cathreen]

Hello All,

With nursing we have our nurses look at the UA dipsticks with another person.  For other areas we have the supervisors review any potential areas of concern. We do not have any color deficient pharmacists at this time.  Sterile processing needs to be able to distinguish the Sterilization/ non sterile packages and the instruments tagged with different colors, this is done with their managers before any accommodation process would be started.



Thank you,

Cathreen

We do it for ALL new hires. The lab verifies that it is done during their CAP survey.

In a recent MOCK survey, color vision was a hot topic.
I am curious if any repeat color vision testing on employees after the on boarding HA process? If so, could you share your policy, protocol and process ?
