Prework screen: Is it helpful in reducing injuries and costs?

Jean Gassoway1, Valerie Flory.   

Abstract

A comparison was made between individuals employed as Nursing Assistants (NA) and Certified Evaluated Nursing Assistants (CENA) at Lakeland Regional Health System for one year prior to the implementation of a prework screen and for one year following the implementation of the prework screen. The goal was to determine the effectiveness of the prework screen on reducing injury rates and Workers' Compensation costs as well as the turnover rate for Nursing Assistants at Lakeland Regional Health System.
