In healthcare, impairment and drug diversion put patients at direct risk. Nurses, techs, and providers have access to controlled substances, so healthcare programs test broadly and confirm definitively.
Why healthcare tests
Patient safety, licensing-board expectations, and accreditation all drive testing. Diversion of fentanyl and other opioids is a specific concern, so expanded panels and definitive confirmation matter more here than almost anywhere.
The right program for clinical staff
Use a 12-panel with fentanyl coverage, add for-cause testing for suspected diversion, and confirm everything by LC-MS/MS.

Talk to a licensed physician
Test results support workplace decisions but are not a medical diagnosis. Anyone with questions about a result or their health should talk to a licensed physician. Employer screening results are reviewed by licensed and trained Medical Technologists; LabX does not currently offer Medical Review Officer (MRO) review, and employers can speak with a LabX toxicologist about a result.
