The Challenge

Managing occupational health screenings for a workforce development program serving individuals with barriers to employment required eliminating long hospital hold times and manual scheduling work.

Long hold times when calling hospitals to schedule drug screens and physicals
Manual scheduling work consuming valuable HR time that could be spent on candidates
Working with multiple employers who each had different occupational health requirements
Seasonal volume fluctuations: 20-30 screenings/month during peak hiring, dropping to 2-3/month in slower periods
Random drug testing needs requiring batch orders of 5-15 tests at once
Seasonal vehicle background checks adding complexity to compliance workflows
Need to delegate scheduling tasks to staff without requiring them to call clinics directly

The Solution

BlueHive provided an intuitive platform that simplified the entire occupational health screening process, from ordering to results tracking-eliminating the need to call clinics.

Single platform to order all occupational health services regardless of employer requirements
No more calling hospitals-staff can order and track tests entirely through the platform
Access to a nationwide network of providers for flexible, same-day scheduling
Real-time results tracking and notifications
Clean, simple interface that required minimal training for staff
Ability to manage different employer requirements all in one place

The Results
