In
the long term care industry, the importance of pre-employment
drug screening is obvious. The inherent problems
associated with pre-employment screening, is the significant
amount of time that is lost between the interview and
the point where an offer for a position can be made. The
problem lies with the labs that are providing the drug
screens. They are inundated with drug screens being received
on a daily basis and provide results on a first-come-first-serve
basis. This typically results in a 3 - 5 day wait between
the time the test is taken and when the results are received
from the lab.
With
today's nursing shortage and the high rate of employee
turnover, nursing facilities are facing the possibility
that a prime candidate would be placed in another facility
prior to lab results being received.
The
advantage HMT offers the industry is the ability to
receive screening results in 5 minutes. In addition,
our test will screen for the adulterants and provide
for an indicator that reports the temperature of the
urine sample. This is important if the candidate would
attempt to introduce "clean urine" from a
friend or mail order supplier of such things. The result
is that the facility using our tests will be the facility
with the upper hand. They will have the ability to offer
the prime candidate the position while the competition
waits for the lab.

Horizon Medical Technologies' drug testing program
provides for a flexible solution to any current
program a health care provider would have in place.
The range of service would span from a simple solution
of providing the facility or group with the on-site
5-minute drug and adulterant screens to the all
inclusive program with an assigned certified laboratory
for the purposes of verification of the positive
results through GC/MS technology. The full program
would also include all collection supplies as well
as pre-paid freight of samples to our lab. |

The end result of implementing
our program usually yields a savings of 40 - 60% and provides
for the ability to make confident hiring decisions within
5 minutes of the test being administered. In the event
the test are used for post accident or suspicious activity,
the 5-minute solution would provide the facility with
the ability to determine an employees impairment and to
make the appropriate decision to remove that employee
from the patient and employee population prior to any
catastrophic event occurring.
