Illicit Substance Screening: Clear Documentation

Keeping and maintaining documentation related to illicit drug and alcohol screenings can also help your program demonstrate that you are treating residents fairly and that you are doing what you need to do to implement national standards for quality. If there is ever a concern or accusation about your organization, you will be able to demonstrate your commitment to your policies through complete and accurate documentation.

Having a process that clearly outlines how you will keep track of documentation ensures that your program is implementing the national standards and maintaining program integrity.
