As an employer, you can receive a copy of your employees’ test results with their consent. However, interpreting these results accurately can be quite complex, especially without a medical background. Understanding the data from health assessments or pathology reports often requires specialized knowledge that employers may not have. Doctors undergo extensive training, including specific courses that teach them how to interpret test results correctly. In fact, these courses are designed to help doctors understand intricate medical data, something that’s not easily done without proper expertise.
Instead of trying to interpret these results yourself, it’s highly recommended to engage a Medical Review Officer (MRO). MROs are doctors who specialize in reviewing and interpreting test results, particularly in workplace health settings. They are trained to assess results in accordance with your organization’s health and safety policies, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and providing guidance on how to manage individuals based on the findings. Using an MRO helps avoid misinterpretation, legal complications, and potential risks to both your employees and your business.
TruHealth Solutions partners with MROs to help employers understand test results and make informed decisions, ensuring that workplace safety and compliance are maintained. This process not only ensures accuracy but also provides peace of mind knowing that the results are interpreted by qualified professionals.
