DrugTestNetwork Overview
DrugTestNetwork is an SaaS (Software as a Service), browser-based drug and alcohol data management system application designed to facilitate the management of drug and alcohol testing Third Party Administrators who manage multiple companies, employers who manage their own DOT compliance and drug free workplace, or schools who need to mange drug free sports and a drug free campus. It enables users to oversee and organize lists of people who participate in random drug testing, ensuring compliance and maintaining safety standards across different organizations.
Consortium Feature
One of the standout features of DrugTestNetwork is the Consortium Management functionality. This feature allows users to group together multiple companies under a consortium, making it possible to perform random selections of employees from a shared pool. When a company’s list of employees is declared as part of the consortium, these employees are added to a collective pool from which random selections are made. This is especially useful for organizations that prefer or require pooled testing across several companies, ensuring a broader and more randomized selection process.
- Non-Consortium Companies (Individual Pools): For companies that do not participate in a consortium, DrugTestNetwork provides the option to manage these companies as Individual Pools. In this setup, random selections are conducted exclusively within the company’s own employee list, rather than from a shared pool. This is ideal for companies that prefer or require independent testing protocols.
Random Selection Scheduling
To further enhance the random testing process, DrugTestNetwork offers a robust scheduling feature that allows users to automate and manage the timing of random selections.
- Random Selection Profiles: Each company or individual pool is assigned a Random Selection Profile. This profile includes the following critical components:
- Frequency: The user can specify how often random selections should occur. Options include Weekly, Monthly, Twice Annually, and Annually.
- Next Date: The system tracks the next scheduled date for a random selection. This date is automatically updated when a new random selection is generated.
- Previous Random Date: The date when the last random selection was performed, along with the results, is recorded and can be reviewed at any time.
- Result Reporting: After a random selection is run, the results are automatically sent to the designated company contact.
- Automatic Scheduling Updates: Once a random selection is generated, DrugTestNetwork automatically calculates and sets the Next Date based on the specified frequency. This automation reduces administrative burden and ensures that random testing schedules are consistently maintained without manual intervention.
- Query-Based Scheduling: Users can easily query which accounts are due for their next random selection based on the current date and the scheduled frequency. This query function simplifies the process of identifying and managing upcoming tests, ensuring that no account is overlooked.
