Medical Review Officer Online Course with Live Discussion (Includes Digital Syllabus)-Final Guidelines

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this final module of MRO practice, the video discusses the evaluation of a shy bladder, which is a term used in urine drug collection situations. The evaluation consists of a clinical evaluation to determine if there is a reasonable explanation for why the donor was unable to produce a urine sample. The evaluation includes a history, physical examination, and simple tests such as urinalysis. Extraordinary means such as invasive procedures are not necessary. The MRO reviews the clinical evaluation report and determines if the donor has a permanent shy bladder. If so, and there is no evidence of illegal drug use, the MRO reports it as negative. If there is evidence of illegal drug use, it is reported as a canceled test. The video also discusses situations where multiple specimens are collected at the same time and the reporting process for multiple positive or adulterated results. It highlights the role of an MRO in non-federally regulated drug testing, including interpreting expanded drug test panels, conducting clinical evaluations, and advising employers on various drug testing and workplace safety issues. It also mentions the differences between federally regulated and non-regulated drug testing, including different drug panels and collection methods. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding state laws and employer policies related to workplace drug testing and provides additional resources for further information. No credits were granted in the video.
