The Medical Review Officer's Manual and The Medical Review Officer Team Manual Package SAVE 10%

As demands for a safe and drug-free workplace grow, federal requirements and a burgeoning work load require that many medical review functions be carried out by medical review officer assistants (MROAs) and others on the medical review officer (MRO) team. This useful, up-to-the-minute manual has been created to help prepare MROAs for certification and to keep the entire MRO team operating at a peak level of professionalism and efficiency.

Offering a complete view of the medical review process, the Medical Review Officer Team Manual covers business, scientific, legal, ethical and logistical issues. It is an ideal practical manual for MROs and MROAs and those who work with them and use their services, including employers and others interested in workplace drug testing. The guide can also be used as a companion to Swotinsky and Smith's previously published Medical Review Officer's Manual, providing "how to" specifics to help the entire MRO team apply the science and art of medical review.

Topics in the Team Manual include core competencies established by the MROCC for MRO Assistant certification, as well as issues related to the smooth functioning of a Medical Review department:

The roles and responsibilities of the various individuals and team members involved in drug and alcohol test ordering, collection, transportation, processing, and reporting
Donor rights at the collection site and in the
DOT and HHS requirements and regulations
Urine specimen procedures, including when and how to look for evidence of tampering, adulteration, or substitution
Policies and procedures, including chains of documentation, screening and confirmation testing, and split specimen analysis for reconfirmation
What elements of a review may be completed by staff, and which must be personally completed by the Medical Review Officer
How to contact the donor and what to do when the donor can't be contacted
How HIPAA and other regulations affect the information obtained in the review of a drug test
Distinguishing more important from less important MRO issues
What the MROA can and cannot do
The most common types of workplace drug testing, including regulated and non-regulated urine tests, hair and oral fluid tests and alcohol tests
Practical concerns, such as collection problems and laboratory/MRO interactions
Reviewing and advising clients about a variety of alcohol test results and dealing with common problems in handling specimens
Acquiring new clients, assessing their needs and matching services to them

Appendices include relevant regulations and guidance, job descriptions, office and practices templates with forms that can be used as presented or adapted to the reader's individual specifications, plus guidelines for practice and FAQs.
