Thank you Jennifer, we require a negative test prior to start but do an onsite (instant) immunoassay test and send out any of them that screen positive for PCR confirmation.
Take care,
Craig

Question for the group.
Do you require the pre-hire UDS within 30 days of hire? If not what time frame do you allow?
Thank you,
Jennifer

Good afternoon All,
So, with marijuana now legal in the state of CT, hospitals are looking to each other to determine if they should accept recreational marijuana use as a legitimate explanation for a positive THC test. The law gives some leeway to health
care organizations to make their own decision about this – at least for now.
Another topic of discussion is whether we should find a reasonable HCW panel that does not include marijuana.
Any thoughts from you pioneers out there that you want to share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Craig
