In acute care environments, every hire matters, and every day of delay can mean another shift unfilled. Hospitals face immense pressure to onboard qualified staff quickly while meeting OSHA and DOH compliance requirements. That’s where on-site pre-employment testing can make all the difference. By bringing occupational health services directly to your facility, Mobile Health helps acute care providers move faster, reduce bottlenecks, and get new hires working without delay.
Why Speed Matters in Acute Care Hiring
Staffing shortages, especially in hospitals, can directly impact patient outcomes. When open roles go unfilled due to delayed screenings or fragmented processes, care delivery suffers, and so does employee morale. Mobile Health eliminates those delays by offering on-site pre-employment testing as part of a full-service occupational health program designed for acute care.
From physicals to drug testing, TB exams, respirator fit testing, and vaccinations, our occupational health teams deliver everything you need, exactly where you need it. No travel. No scheduling confusion. Just fast, compliant employee screening.
How Fast Can Hospitals Complete Employee Medicals?
With Mobile Health, very fast. Our average turnaround time is just 1.9 business days from test to result, and even faster for most services when they are done on-site. There’s no wait for external clinic appointments or paperwork handoffs. Everything is handled by our trained on-site team, using real-time documentation tools that integrate with your existing ATS or HRIS.
This level of speed allows hospitals to clear staff faster and maintain continuity of care. And when every second counts, that’s a powerful advantage.
Can On-Site Testing Reduce Delays?
Absolutely. Traditional employee screening often involves coordinating multiple appointments at different locations, which introduces scheduling conflicts, missed appointments, and slower onboarding. With Mobile Health’s on-site testing solution, all pre-employment requirements are completed in one location, on one day, reducing no-shows and administrative headaches.
Our teams are fully equipped to turn your conference room, breakroom, or even parking lot into a pop-up clinic. We bring the supplies, the technology, and the expertise. You just provide the space.
If your hospital system has multiple facilities, we can deploy our on-site teams to several locations at once, keeping the process fast, consistent, and coordinated across your entire organization.
The Benefits of Bundling Services On-Site
When hospitals bundle multiple occupational health services during one on-site visit, they save time, cut costs, and accelerate the path to compliance. Mobile Health can perform all of the following on-site:
- =Drug testing (5 to 13-panel, plus custom panels)
- Physical exams
- TB testing and X-rays
- Vaccines & titers
- Respirator fit testing
- Online medical evaluations
Whether you’re onboarding five nurses or 500, we scale to meet your hiring volume with efficiency and clinical excellence. Our on-site occupational health solutions are fully turnkey, simply tell us when and where, and our team handles the rest.
