I must have been a teen at the time ":)

While I absolutely am in favor of tests that can help a person define their health status and identify problems, I favor functional testing rather than screening testing in this instance- though old habits are hard to change and such screening is often requested by employers or is part of a standard package of testing.

Are your facilities completing a color deficiency screening (Ishihara) on patient facing candidates?
 
If they have some degree of deficiency what are the next steps? 
 
  
 
Thanks
