[MCOH-EH] Clearance to RTW after + COVID

[Olson, Amelia]

With the Omicron surge in January, we instituted a RTW email for Covid. The associate would email that they met criteria or they did not and needed a call. We would check our EHR and if everything was following our algorithm correctly, we returned them based on the email. If something wasn't right we called. This has worked really well and we have continued this practice. AO

________________________________
We require call 24-48 prior to RTW for sx review. We tried dropping this and found that we lost control of returning ee. Dates are emailed to manages as potential RTW dates, then another is sent at CLEARED to RTW on date. Specific and black and white.

Hi All:

Bit of clarification to this question: do you require clearance from EHS before RTW after 10 days or do you allow employees to return with their own self-assessment? We want to decrease the volume of phone calls by putting out a decision tree and empowering employees to return without actually speaking with an EHS nurse.

Does anyone know if an actual clearance is required by OSHA, public health, etc? Or have we just gotten in our own way?
