Would appreciate some input into how preplacement assessments are being done…..where?  and what is being included.  We are a large hospital system and have one large employee occupational health clinic to do the majority of preplacement assessments.  The assessments are done by RNs and include

health history

vision screening

immunizations…measles mumps rubella and varicella vaccine or titer

drug screen

hep B vaccine admin or declination   we offer hep B to all employees

screening for other regulatory requirements…..hearing conservation, chemo requirements, etc

fit testing

We are looking for ways to streamline our process, which now takes approximately 45 minutes, and create more openings in our clinic.

Thanks for any ideas you have, I appreciate your time.
