[MCOH-EH] Stopping Pre Employment Urine Drug Screens

[Tara Dockery]

We do all of our hires, and even if the drug is legal in our state, we follow federal regulations and if any test is positive we withdraw the contract.

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
