[MCOH-EH] Provider Exams for New Hires

[Kim.Norton2 at hcahealthcare.com]

Hi David,
I work for the Hospital Corp. of America (HCA), we no longer require a MD physical at our hospital, however we do require & perform Agility testing (flexion, lifting, squatting kneeling, pushing, pulling carrying of different amounts of weight (job based – 10 to 50 pounds). We also have the autonomy to send for further testing to ensure the post-offer potential employee can perform required duties. A Physical Abilities Test (PAT), we use https://www.ushealthworks.com/ it cost a couple of hundred, but each time we have been correct in our judgement and have prevented the possibility of loss revenue, loss time, etc. Hope this helps

Thank you

Subject: {EXTERNAL} [MCOH-EH] Provider Exams for New Hires

I was hoping to get some input from other medical facilities on this. When I arrived at my current job, the Employee Health team had not been doing provider physical exams for pre-placement medical evals for the hospital; we take a medical history, assess vaccinations, etc, and do a nursing assessment (vitals and vision test). Having come from the military, with a different approach to these things, I was a bit surprised.

I am now working on a re-write of the policy for new hires, and am debating whether to include a provider physical exam. What are other medical facilities doing? Is there a physical exam with every new hire evaluation, only in certain cases, or not at all?

Thanks for any inputs!

David
