### Evaluations

Fitness for duty and return-to-work evaluations for workplace safety.

- **Return-to-Work Clearance Evaluation**: When an employee returns from behavioral health leave, you need a clear, confidential determination of readiness — not guesswork.

Turnaround: 2-3 business days.

BlueHive coordinates post-incident clearance workflows that protect your people and your organization. Turnaround: 24-72 hours (defusing); 3-5 business days (formal clearance).
- **Return-to-Work Evaluation**: Every day an employee stays out of work costs you productivity, morale, and workers' comp exposure. BlueHive's return-to-work evaluations get employees back safely and quickly — with clear restrictions, accommodation guidance, and documentation your legal team can rely on. Turnaround: 24-48 hours.
- **Pre-Placement/Post-Offer Evaluation**: A bad hire into a physically demanding role means re-injury risk, accommodation disputes, and workers' comp claims before day 90. BlueHive post-offer evaluations match candidate capabilities to real job demands — ADA-compliant, defensible, and completed within 48 hours of request. Turnaround: 24-48 hours.
- **Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)**: Disputed disability claims and return-to-work stalemates cost employers thousands per week. A BlueHive FCE provides objective, standardized data on what an employee can actually do — giving you defensible evidence for accommodation decisions, claims management, and safe return-to-work plans. Turnaround: 5-7 business days.

## Canonical Entity Index

Every BlueHive service is published as a stable schema.org entity. Each has a canonical `@id`, `sameAs` links to authoritative medical-code and definition sources, and — where the service is federally regulated — `recognizingAuthority` links to the U.S. government body that governs it. State and city pages reference the national entity via `isRelatedTo`, so every regional variant resolves to the same identity.

## Integration with Enterprise Health EMR

BlueHive integrates natively with Enterprise Health, the leading occupational health EMR, via HL7 interface. This integration is for organizations that use Enterprise Health as their in-house occupational health medical record system and need BlueHive's nationwide provider network for external testing and exams.

### How It Works
Enterprise Health sends HL7 orders to BlueHive → BlueHive coordinates with external providers → employee completes pre-visit questionnaires via Enterprise Health portal → provider uploads results to BlueHive → MRO reviews and clears → results automatically sent back to Enterprise Health via HL7.

### When to Use BlueHive + Enterprise Health Together
- In-house clinic handles some services but needs to outsource drug testing, DOT physicals, mobile on-site testing, or specialty exams to external providers
- Organization operates Enterprise Health as the system of record but needs nationwide provider access for employees in remote locations or satellite offices
- Switching from paper charts to digital: Enterprise Health handles the EMR and charting, BlueHive handles external provider coordination and scheduling

### When to Use BlueHive Without Enterprise Health
- No in-house clinic — outsource all occupational health services to external providers via BlueHive's 20,000+ location network
- Using a different HRIS (ADP, Workday, BambooHR, UKG, etc.) — BlueHive integrates directly via 240+ HRIS connections through Finch
- Small to mid-size employers who don't need a full occupational health EMR

### Compliance Topic Guides

#### Drug Testing Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/drug-testing/

Workplace drug testing laws are shifting rapidly across the United States. As more states legalize recreational and medical cannabis, employers face an increasingly complex patchwork of testing restrictions, accommodation requirements, and evolving panel standards. Federal contractors and DOT-regulated industries must balance state-level reforms with unchanged federal mandates, creating compliance pressure points that require careful policy review.

#### DOT Physicals Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/dot-physicals/

Department of Transportation physical examinations are a critical compliance requirement for employers in transportation, logistics, and any industry with commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators. FMCSA regulations mandate that all CDL holders pass a DOT physical every two years (or more frequently for certain medical conditions). Recent years have seen expanded use of the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, updated guidance on sleep apnea screening, and evolving standards for diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.

#### Occupational Health Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/occupational-health/

Occupational health compliance encompasses a broad set of employer obligations — from medical surveillance programs required by OSHA standards, to return-to-work protocols, fitness-for-duty evaluations, and workplace wellness initiatives. As hybrid work models reshape the physical workplace and new hazards emerge (silica dust, heat illness, workplace violence), employers must adapt their occupational health programs to evolving OSHA enforcement priorities and state-level workplace health mandates.

#### Workplace Immunization Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/immunization/

Workplace immunization compliance remains a critical obligation for healthcare employers, government contractors, and certain public-facing industries. While COVID-19 federal mandates have been rescinded or narrowed, state-level healthcare worker vaccination requirements continue to evolve, and CMS Conditions of Participation still require certain immunizations for Medicare/Medicaid-certified facilities. Employers must balance public health obligations with religious and medical exemption frameworks, documentation burdens, and workforce planning.

#### OSHA & Workplace Safety Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/osha/

OSHA compliance is the foundation of workplace safety for employers across every industry. Recent years have seen heightened enforcement activity, significant proposed rulemaking (heat illness prevention, workplace violence, emergency response), and increased penalties through annual inflation adjustments. Employers in State Plan states face additional complexity as state agencies adopt stricter or broader standards than federal OSHA. Multi-state employers must track both federal OSHA standards and the variations imposed by the 22 states and territories with OSHA-approved plans.

#### Privacy & Consent Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/privacy/

Employee privacy and consent compliance is one of the fastest-moving areas of employment law. Biometric data privacy statutes (led by Illinois BIPA) are expanding to more states, workplace monitoring and surveillance laws are evolving with remote work, and medical records confidentiality under the ADA and state laws remains a persistent audit risk. Employers collecting biometric data (fingerprints, facial recognition, retinal scans) for timekeeping or access control face substantial litigation exposure in states with private rights of action.

#### Workers' Compensation Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/workers-compensation/

Workers' compensation compliance requires employers to navigate a wholly state-driven system with significant variation in benefits, reporting timelines, employer obligations, and reform trajectories. Recent trends include drug-free workplace program enhancements that reduce premium costs, expanded presumption laws for first responders, telemedicine adoption for initial injury evaluations, and aggressive return-to-work mandates. Employers that invest in structured return-to-work and modified duty programs consistently see lower claim durations and premium impacts.

#### Behavioral Health & Workforce Resilience Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/topics/behavioral-health/

Behavioral health compliance is the fastest-evolving area of occupational health regulation. State legislatures are rapidly enacting first responder wellness mandates, expanding peer support confidentiality protections, and strengthening mental health parity enforcement. Employers — particularly in public safety, transportation, and healthcare — face increasing obligations to provide structured behavioral health programs, post-incident support, and proactive wellness screening. The regulatory trend is clear: reactive EAP referrals are no longer sufficient to meet duty-of-care standards.

### Industry Compliance Guides

#### Healthcare Industry Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/industries/healthcare/

Compliance requirements for hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and healthcare staffing agencies.

#### Transportation Industry Compliance Guide

URL: https://bluehive.com/compliance-watch/industries/transportation/

DOT, FMCSA, and state compliance requirements for carriers, logistics companies, and transportation employers.
