[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] Re: returning for 2 step ppd

[Thanassi, Wendy]

Clarification! QFT testing is required before onboarding at the Palo
Alto VA Health Care System hospital and clinics in Califonia. 

 

Other VAs across the country do TB testing differently, but per policy,
all VAs should be requiring clearance by 2-step TST or IGRA prior to
onboarding.

How does everyone get new hires to return for their second ppd?   It
seems like we continually are trying track people down.  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
