Benefits of On-Site Pre-Employment and Annual Screenings
- Convenience for Candidates and Employees: Hospice nurse applicants and staff don’t need to leave the workplace. We set up in any suitable space, breakroom, conference room, or parking lot, so they can complete all health exams without missing shifts and causing disruption to your workforce.
- Comprehensive Occupational Health Services: From the initial physical to vaccines and respirator fit testing, every exam required for hospice nurses happens in one visit. This comprehensive approach reduces the risk of overlooked requirements, whether for pre-employment checks or annual renewals required for nurses.
- Faster Turnaround to Hire: Our average result turnaround is under 2 days, giving you rapid clearance to onboard new nurses and maintain staffing levels.
- Reduced Administrative Load: On-site events minimize back-and-forth scheduling and paperwork. Results upload automatically to the Client Portal, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring all documentation is audit-ready.
- Turnkey On-Site Operations: Mobile Health manages everything from setup and teardown to providing all clinical staff. All you need to do is tell us when and where, and we’ll handle the rest.
Essential Exams for Hospice Nurses
Hospice nurses face unique workplace exposures and must complete specific health assessments to safeguard both patients and staff. Mobile Health’s on-site teams provide:
- Pre-Employment Physicals: Verify strength, mobility, and overall fitness for patient handling and physically demanding tasks.
- Drug & Alcohol Testing: Ensure a substance-free workforce in compliance with federal and state regulations.
- TB Testing: Identify both active and latent tuberculosis to prevent healthcare-associated infections.
- Vaccines & Titers: Confirm immunity to Hepatitis B, influenza, and other communicable diseases critical in hospice environments.
- Online Medical Evaluations: Required prior to respirator fit testing to assess medical suitability and ensure safe use of respiratory protection.
- Respirator Fit Testing: Validate proper seal and protection when respirators are required for airborne precautions.
Which employee health exams do hospice nurses need?
Hospice nurses require a combination of physical exams, drug and alcohol screens, TB tests, immunizations (titers and vaccinations), vision and hearing checks, and respirator fit testing to meet OSHA, CDC, and state hospice regulations.
How to Plan Hospice On-Site Screening Events
- Select the Space: Identify a location, such as a breakroom or conference area, with enough room for exam stations and candidate flow. Mobile Health can also deploy mobile units if indoor space is limited.
- Coordinate Scheduling: Work with HR to choose dates that align with shift rotations. Use our Patient Portal to let candidates self-schedule time slots, reducing no-shows and administrative follow-up.
- Deploy Clinical Teams: Our teams handle setup, testing, and teardown, so you don’t have to.
- Integrate Data: Results are uploaded in real time to the HIPAA-secure Client Portal. You can integrate this data with your ATS or HRIS for seamless workforce onboarding and compliance tracking.
