3-2 Short Paper: Drug Testing of Employees

In the 1980s, the federal government required drug testing from government contractors. Since then, a number of companies have adopted policies regarding drug testing in the workplace. Companies believe they need to do drug testing to promote a safe and efficient work environment. Others believe it is an invasion of privacy and what a person does at home should have no bearing on employment. Write a paper addressing the following questions:

  1. Do you think that companies should perform drug testing on employees? Explain your rationale and provide specific examples, where applicable.
  2. Is the safety of employees and overall efficiency of the company or the privacy rights of employees more important? Explain your decision.

If you think drug testing of employees is appropriate, what human resource policies would you put in place to govern the drug testing? Explain. If you do not think that drug testing is appropriate, what obligations do companies have to make sure proper safety is maintained in the workplace? For additional details, please refer to the Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric document in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.HS410-3: Compare the roles of governmental and nonprofit agencies in accreditation and licensure of healthcare organizations and professionals.   Instructions:  You are working for a community-based patient advocacy group. Your boss sends you an email asking for publicly available information that your organization can compile for consumers. Your boss wants to know about accrediting agencies and provider report cards that exist for various types of public and private healthcare institutions (hospitals, managed care plans, long term care facilities, etc.).  Reply to your boss with a one page email that describes the types of accrediting agencies and provider report cards that currently exist. Be sure to include examples and hot links so that your boss can readily follow up on this information if she so chooses.
