MRO Services - Medical Review Officer
An essential part of the drug testing program is the final review of results. A positive laboratory test result does not automatically identify an employee or job applicant as an illegal drug user. The Medical Review Officer (MRO) is a physician that is trained to validate the results. The MRO will:
- Review the information on the specimen form and determine that the information is forensically and scientifically supportable
- Interview the donor when required
- Make a determination regarding the test result
- Report the verified result to the agency (employer)
- Maintain records and confidentiality of the information
