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
