[MCOH-EH] Drug Testing

[Jennifer Carr]

I am in West Virginia and our process mirrors JoAnn’s in Tampa with the exception that the send out lab that we contract with includes an MRO process for any positives.
We also have recently made exceptions for contract employees that their UDS can be upon hire with the Agency rather than within 30 days of starting work at our facility.

We do a rapid 5 panel drug test in the clinic and test for THC, opiates, cocaine, amphetamines and meth.   Any + rapid is sent out for a confirmatory test to an outside lab and MRO.  Results take up to 3-5 days for send outs.

  95% of our rapid tests  are negative and we can clear the new hire during the onboarding visit.

However, if the person is on a prescription medication and shows us the prescription bottle, and the rapid is +, we require a review with the RN.    We do have quite a few people on ADHD meds with + amphetamine and a few on opiates short term for dental, etc.

After review, the RN may clear them to start orientation before we receive the confirmatory results.     If a new hire misses orientation, they need to wait another two weeks for the next one and we try to avoid that as much as possible with the current labor shortage.

WARNING: This email came from an external source outside of Tampa General Hospital.

Our organization is looking at ways to improve the efficiency of onboarding new employees and is considering stopping pre placement urine drug testing.
Historically the UDT has been done by our own lab and has been rate limiting and of concern from a compliance process.
Do you do UDT at preplacement? If so, why?
If your organization does UDT at pre placement is it outsourced?
Is it an HR process or an employee health process?
Thank you
Charlie
