[MCOH-EH] Stopping Pre Employment Urine Drug Screens

[Winters, Tom (BIDMC - Occupational Health)]

We do not do them at many Harvard teaching hospitals, except for anesthesiologists and pharmacists.

Hello,



Our C-suite has told Employee Health we need to investigate stopping urine drug screens for new hires as a cost savings measure and only UDS those for who it is required by law or certification.



  *   Have any others gone through this or stopped pre-employment UDS?
  *   What certifying bodies for a hospital organization require UDS?
     *   For example, we found out specialty pharmacy need UDS for URAC



Thanks,



Megan
