Medical Review Officer Online Course with Live Discussion (Includes Digital Syllabus)-2024 March MRO Live Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the MRO monthly discussion, various topics were covered, including the challenge of immunoassay interference in drug testing results and the need to communicate with the certifying scientists for insights. The importance of record retention for MROs was emphasized, with a timeframe of 5 years for positive and adulterated results, 2 years for canceled tests, and 1 year for negative results. Additionally, the necessity of pen-and-ink signatures on paper forms for DOT testing, even in the digital age, due to the lack of approval for electronic signatures was highlighted. The session concluded with a reminder about the upcoming meeting in April and the absence of a meeting in May due to conflicting schedules.
