Colleagues, judging by the number of requests Laura is receiving, there is some interest in the topic. The original question
in this string asked for sharing on whether or not blood pressure is included in the new employee onboarding exam. I’d appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks, |

External Email - Use Caution
Thank you so much for the interest in my NP’s thesis. There were several requests for further information. She is currently working on the final document to submit for publication to the Journal of Nursing Scholarshp.
The project involved an educational session for our physician, NP, and PA colleagues to implement a two-question anxiety assessment adapted from the GAD-7 with our occupational health patients
(pre-employment candidates and external candidates as well as our work injury/work comp patients) who had elevated blood pressure readings of 130/80 or greater. Essentially, 62.3% of the patients screened positive for anxiety. The compliance rate of the anxiety
assessments among the provider staff was 74.75%.
She is looking at a second phase involving referral of these patients for further treatment of both anxiety and HTN.
