Because of the potential of drug abuse by medical/healthcare workers and the immense liability it brings to your organization, a comprehensive panel was developed to tests for drugs that are readily accessible to professionals in the healthcare industry.  The Healthcare Professional Panel tests for a variety of prescribed drugs that currently pass undetected in conventional testing profiles of "street drugs", such as marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines.  The screening of the comprehensive Healthcare Professional Panel is performed using  immunoassay screen with GC/MS Confirmation testing including d/l Methamphetamine and 6 MAM.  This technology affords rapid turnaround times.

The Healthcare Professional Panel can:

· Detect the abuse of available narcotics and sedatives in healthcare facilities.

· Reduce employee turnover due to drug abuse.

· Limit your liability by protecting your patients from impaired healthcare professionals.

· Reduce long-term costs to your facility caused by employee inefficiency.

· Maintain a high quality of patient care by deterring employees from taking these drugs and providing placebos to patients.

· Help reduce absenteeism, injuries, mistakes and theft.
