[back to top] Preface to Fourth Edition The Medical Review Officer's Manual, fourth edition is a reference for physicians and other providers of workplace drug and alcohol testing services. This book presents the rules and guidelines and the authors' understanding of best practices. It focuses on the review and interpretation of workplace drug and alcohol test results and related topics important to medical review officers (MROs). The standard operating procedures for MRO practice are well defined by federal regulations and guidelines, primarily those of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Department of Transportation. Many MROs follow the federal procedures when reviewing nonregulated tests because the procedures make sense, and because they are used to them. However, the federal procedures do not cover every scenario nor do they cover drugs and metabolites beyond the federal five-drug panel and tests performed on nonurine specimens. This book covers the federal procedures and other scenarios not covered by the federal procedures. Four years have passed between this fourth edition and the third edition. This fourth edition has updates for regulatory compliance and technological changes, including changes to the HHS Mandatory Guidelines and Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form effective as of May 10, 2010. It also features more information about (1) nonurine tests; (2) prescription opiates and testing for prescription drugs; and (3) specimen validity testing. This fourth edition has updated endnote references. The text includes citations for some of the less well-known parts of the federal rules, so that readers can more easily locate the source material. We thank the Medical Review Officer Certification Council (MROCC) and Brian Compney, MROCC's executive director, for supporting this project. Excellent comments on drafts of this fourth edition were provided by Sue Clark, MBA; Steven Herbets, MD; Carl Selavka, PhD; and Gilbert Woodall, Jr., MD. We thank Curtis Vouwie at OEM Press, the publisher, for his encouragement and responsiveness. Pub. Date: May 2010 ISBN: 978-1-883595-54-8 $95.00 Product Code: 23100
