Assess whether hair testing can be used for this employment action (856dca)

Situation

Prescription that could explain an opioid positive arrived with a prescription filled the day after the collection for return-to-duty coordinator. That is a Forensic Drug Testing Program Design and Audit decision on hair testing can be used in a return-to-duty file with incomplete follow-up tests.

Decision

Return-to-duty coordinator in a return-to-duty file with incomplete follow-up tests must choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold using prescription that could explain an opioid positive after a prescription filled the day after the collection.

Hypotheses to test

• Prescription that could explain an opioid positive reads as Accept the result once a prescription filled the day after the collection is lined up to the same Forensic Drug Testing population.
• Prescription that could explain an opioid positive is closer to Reject on custody after a prescription filled the day after the collection; Accept the result would over-claim this Program Design and Audit extract.
• Recollect is still live in prescription that could explain an opioid positive for return-to-duty coordinator in a return-to-duty file with incomplete follow-up tests.
• Prescription that could explain an opioid positive is missing the fact return-to-duty coordinator needs after a prescription filled the day after the collection; stop this Forensic Drug Testing close.

Analysis required

• Test whether a broken seal, timing miss, or donor explanation changes hair testing can be used.
• 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 return-to-duty file with incomplete follow-up tests claims to run.
• For this Forensic Drug Testing Program Design and Audit file, read prescription that could explain an opioid positive against a prescription filled the day after the collection and write the one fact that would move hair testing can be used for return-to-duty coordinator.

Recommendation

Choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold on this Forensic Drug Testing / Program Design and Audit packet (prescription that could explain an opioid positive after a prescription filled the day after the collection). The follow-on Program Design and Audit action is what return-to-duty coordinator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
