Subject: [MCOH-EH] Timing of annual TSTs in inpatient units: By date of birth, alphabetically, date of hire?

We are reconfiguring our tuberculosis surveillance, driven by a change in staffing and location of the employee health office in each hospital.  Will be doing them either on the inpatient units, or in the employee health office.  The question is, scheduling the test:  by date of birth, by alpha, or date of hire.  What do you do, and why?

Thanks
