What does MIS stand for in the name: DOT MIS Report?

In the context of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), “MIS” stands for Management Information System, which is a system used to collect and report drug and alcohol testing data from employers regulated by the DOT.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

DOT Regulation:

The DOT regulates workplace drug and alcohol testing for federally regulated transportation industries, outlined in 49 CFR Part 40.

MIS Reporting:

Employers regulated by the DOT are required to report their annual drug and alcohol testing data to the DOT’s Management Information System (MIS).
Data Collection:

The MIS form is used to collect data on employer information, covered employees, drug testing data, and alcohol testing data.
Submission:

Employers must submit the MIS report in accordance with the requirements established by the DOT agency regulating their operation.
Examples of DOT Agencies:

The DOT includes agencies like the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and others.
MIS Data Collection Form:

The form is referenced in Appendix J to part 40 of the DOT regulations.
Importance of MIS Reporting:

MIS reports are used to track and analyze drug and alcohol testing data to ensure compliance and improve safety in the transportation industry.
DAMIS:

The DOT’s Drug and Alcohol Management Information System (DAMIS) is the system where the reports are submitted.

DrugTestNetwork (DTN) is an online data management system for drug and alcohol testing and provides comprehensive utilities for users/subscribers to manage every detail of the DOT MIS report. Every drug and alcohol test reported on the DOT MIS Report conforms to specifics criteria in order to be included on the report: Reason for Testing, Overall Qualitative Results, Refusals, Shy Bladder, Shy Lung, etc. DTN insures every drug and alcohol test conforms to the requirements of the MIS Report, and if a test result falls outside the reporting requirements, it is flagged so the user can easily correct the data for accurate reporting. DrugTestNetwork is an absolute solution for drug test reporting software. In addition to the DOT MIS report, DTN also provides a MIS report for Non-DOT reporting as well. The Non-DOT version is similar to the DOT MIS Report, but includes broader reporting features to include any and all Reasons for Testing and Overall Quatitative Results (OQR). DrugTestNetwork’s drug and alcohol testing and reporting software makes compliance with DOT Regulations easy to manage.
