In order to create a safe and healthy environment for staff and consumers as well as slow the spread of COVID-19 as businesses reopen, The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that businesses check employee's temperatures before they enter their physical workplace.
Leaders across industries are considering strategies to realistically implement temperature screening programs for their companies. Clinistic Medical Staffing, Inc., offers a dynamic temperature screening solution that is currently trusted and utilized by some of America's largest employers.
Temperature screening is an increasingly critical means of lowering COVID-19 infection risk. Multiple states and municipalities including Ohio, Delaware, San Francisco, and Santa Clara County have either implemented orders or strong recommendations that temperature checks be performed before employees are permitted to report to work. The CDC has also issued specific guidance for workplaces in communities with minimal to moderate risk of COVID-19, which implement regular health checks including temperature screenings.
This key preventative measure needs to be performed correctly to ensure accurate results and decrease risk of workplace infection or transmission during screening. Emerging local, state, and federal requirements and standards of clinical integrity for temperature screening protocols reflect the importance of screening process integrity. Utilizing internal employees to perform temperature screenings are increases the risk of inaccurate screening results and related increased infection risk, as well as higher risk of transmission during screening, so we recommend hiring certified medical screeners with training and experience in safe and accurate screening processes.
