DATIA is Now Accepting Registrations for the First Ever Excelling as a Medical Review Officer (MRO) Assistant Workshop

DATIA is pleased to present a program providing Medical Review Officer (MRO) Assistants with a workshop that delivers comprehensive training on industry best practices, provides helpful hints for successful implementation, and helps MRO Assistants to achieve success. This program will help to ensure that Medical Review Officer Assistant duties are performed in a professional and consistent manner, maintaining confidentiality for the donor, and ensuring security and integrity in the process. DATIA’s new training course is the only national training program for MRO Assistants.

The objective of Excelling as an MRO Assistant is to provide instruction and resource material that enables the MRO assistant to:
  • Fully understand the role of the MRO and the MRO Assistant in the drug testing process
  • Define issues that arise during the medical review process and the best courses of action to tackle these issues
  • Provide services meeting standards of professionalism, accountability, and ethical behavior
  • Implement practical application of industry standards and procedures

This course will be held on May 12, 2005, during DATIA's 10th Anniversary celebration and Annual Conference in Orlando, FL. Click here for the full course brochure.


DATIA is Now Offering an Up to Date Analysis of the Drug Testing Industry

DATIA receives many phone calls and emails inquiring about drug testing industry statistics. Because of this interest and desire for statistical data, DATIA has partnered with Marketdata Enterprises, Inc., to make their analysis of the U.S. Medical Laboratories Industry available to our members.

This study is an up-to-date and detailed analysis of the industry from the laboratories' perspective. The analysis examines the dollar size, history, and future outlook for routine esoteric test markets. Major markets analyzed separately are: Esoteric tests, Blood cholesterol, pap tests, and employee drug testing.

This study can be purchased in it's entirety or you can purchase the employee drug testing section by itself. Click here to access the Marketdata Research Study order form.
