With hospital turnover hitting 18.3% and 70% of healthcare workers abandoning lengthy hiring processes, every day of delay in employee screening costs you qualified candidates. Healthcare facilities face 1.9 million annual job openings that need to be filled quickly, yet choosing the wrong employee screening approach creates bottlenecks that slow down your hiring process.
Your occupational health services program needs to match your operational reality. Some situations demand the convenience of on-site medical testing, while others benefit from the flexibility of clinic-based screening.
When to Choose On-Site Medical Testing
When should healthcare facilities choose on-site employee testing? On-site occupational health testing works best when you’re screening multiple employees simultaneously, need to minimize workforce disruption, are opening a new location or facility, or operate across multiple or remote locations.
Bulk screening events benefit most from on-site testing. When you’re hiring multiple employees at once or conducting annual compliance screenings for large departments, bringing testing to your facility eliminates the coordination nightmare of scheduling individual appointments, coupled with a designated project manager to ensure a seamless testing event. On-site events are generally most cost-effective when the scope meets our minimum event threshold.
Mobile Health’s on-site teams provide comprehensive screening services wherever you need them. This includes drug testing, physical exams, vaccinations, respirator fit testing, and more. We handle teams of all sizes. Whether you’re screening a small team or 100,000+ employees, we deliver the same level of efficiency, supported by fully equipped clinical teams that arrive at your location ready to serve.
When Clinic Testing Makes Sense
Clinic-based testing can often be a better option when screening individual candidates rather than conducting bulk events. Clinic-based testing is also a good option for those who can’t or didn’t make your on-site event. Candidates can simply choose one of our 6,500+ nationwide locations to complete testing. This offers convenience and flexibility to test when and where it works best for them. When 70% of candidates abandon positions with slow hiring processes, eliminating friction becomes critical. Many of our clinics also offer next-day appointments, accelerating screening which in turn accelerates hiring.
Our user-friendly Patient Portal enables fast self-scheduling. Candidates select their preferred clinic location, date, and time from available appointments. The system sends automated reminders, dramatically reducing the no-show rates that plague traditional appointment scheduling.
Mobile Health’s Flexible Solutions
What are the advantages of our flexible occupational health services? The real advantage isn’t choosing between on-site and clinic testing. It’s having access to both options through a single provider with integrated technology.
Both occupational health testing methods deliver results on an average of 1.9 business days.* Whether your employees visit one of our clinics or we bring testing to your facility, you receive the same rapid turnaround that keeps hiring moving forward. With 1.9 million healthcare job openings annually, speed matters. Our comprehensive platform tracks all testing through our Client Portal, regardless of where the screening occurred.
This flexibility reduces hiring delays. Use clinic testing for individual candidates during normal hiring flow, then schedule on-site events when you’re conducting annual compliance screenings or bulk new hire orientations. Switch between methods based on what works best for each situation rather than being locked into a single approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should healthcare facilities choose on-site employee testing?
Choose on-site testing for bulk screening events when your organization has:

On-site testing eliminates travel time, reduces no-shows, and keeps operations running smoothly during the screening process.
