Travel nurses, allied-health professionals, per-diem staff, direct-care workers, and other clinical placements may need different drug panels, TB testing, immunity documentation, or collection arrangements. A coordinated program reduces delays when candidates and facilities are located in different states.
Which employees may be included?
Coverage should be based on actual duties and a legally reviewed policy—not merely a job title. Common roles include:
- Travel nurses and per-diem clinicians
- Allied-health and laboratory professionals
- Home-health and long-term-care staff
- Healthcare recruiters and credentialing teams
What should the testing workflow address?
- Fast pre-employment drug screening and clear status updates
- TB and immunity testing options coordinated with drug testing
- Facility-specific requirements documented by placement
- Nationwide collection access and confidential reporting
Before launch, define who can order a test, which reason and panel apply, where collection occurs, who receives confidential results, and what happens when a collection or result needs follow-up.
How can one testing partner reduce administrative work?
A single business account can coordinate site selection, mobile collection planning, laboratory routing, Medical Review Officer services when applicable, and secure result delivery. This is particularly useful when employees work across locations, projects, shifts, or regulatory categories.
Frequently asked questions
Is drug testing required for every healthcare staffing employee?
No. Requirements depend on duties, federal regulation, state and local law, contracts, and the employer's written policy.
Can DOT and non-DOT employees use the same program?
An employer can administer both, but DOT tests and records must follow the applicable federal rules and remain distinct from non-DOT company-policy testing.
Can Lab Test Solutions support multiple locations?
Yes. Lab Test Solutions can coordinate collection access, mobile events where available, laboratory services, MRO review, and secure reporting for distributed workforces.
