Assess whether hair testing can be used for this employment action (e941ad)

Situation

Oral-fluid implementation lead in a federal contractor under an HHS-mandatory program has one working extract — prescription that could explain an opioid positive — after a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished. If prescription that could explain an opioid positive cannot support hair testing can be used, the honest Forensic Drug Testing output is hold.

Decision

Oral-fluid implementation lead in a federal contractor under an HHS-mandatory program must choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold using prescription that could explain an opioid positive after a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished.

Hypotheses to test

• A SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished is noise around an already-controlled Program Design and Audit process in a federal contractor under an HHS-mandatory program, given prescription that could explain an opioid positive.
• A SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished is the event in prescription that could explain an opioid positive that forces Accept the result for oral-fluid implementation lead under Forensic Drug Testing.
• Prescription that could explain an opioid positive shows a one-file miss after a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished, not a Program Design and Audit program failure.
• Prescription that could explain an opioid positive cannot decide hair testing can be used yet after a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished; hold is the only Forensic Drug Testing close a federal contractor under an HHS-mandatory program can defend.

Analysis required

• Confirm the kit ID in prescription that could explain an opioid positive matches the collection log.
• Check MRO notes and cutoffs against the protocol a federal contractor under an HHS-mandatory program claims to run.
• Walk chain of custody, collection site, and validity flags in prescription that could explain an opioid positive after a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished.
• For this Forensic Drug Testing Program Design and Audit file, read prescription that could explain an opioid positive against a SAP who closed the file before follow-up tests finished and write the one fact that would move hair testing can be used for oral-fluid implementation lead.
