Tuberculosis Policies
Tuberculosis Screening
All new employees must complete pre-employment TB screening before beginning work at CMMC. A one-step PPD is acceptable with documented TB testing completed within the previous 12 months; otherwise, a two-step PPD is required. PPDs must be read by a physician or nurse 48–72 hours after placement. A PPD that is not read within this timeframe is invalid and must be repeated. Compliance is achieved only after the PPD has been read and documented.
Annual Tuberculosis Signs & Symptoms Questionnaire
All employees must complete the Annual Tuberculosis Signs and Symptoms Questionnaire each year as a condition of employment. The electronic questionnaire is required for annual evaluation compliance. Responses are reviewed by the Employee Health Nurse. Employees reporting symptoms of concern will be contacted for follow-up. Once approved, the questionnaire is documented in the Employee Health record and the employee is considered compliant with the annual TB screening requirement.
Vaccinations and Immunity
To protect patients, staff, and visitors, all employees, students, residents, and volunteers must provide documentation of required immunizations or laboratory-confirmed immunity before beginning work at CMMC.
Required immunizations include Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), Varicella (chickenpox), and Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap). If documentation of MMR or Varicella immunization is unavailable, CMMC will provide immunity (titer) testing at no cost. All required immunizations or immunity verification must be completed before employment begins.
The Hepatitis B vaccine is strongly recommended for employees with occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, including the risk of needlestick injuries. CMMC provides all required immunizations, immunity testing, and the Hepatitis B vaccine series at no cost to employees.
Central Montana Medical Center recommends annual influenza vaccination to help reduce influenza transmission and protect patients. Free influenza vaccines are offered to employees each season, typically beginning in October. Employees are encouraged to wear a mask when experiencing symptoms of illness to help prevent the spread of respiratory infections; however, masking is not required for employees who choose not to receive the influenza vaccine.
Annual Employee Health Wellness Screening
Central Montana Medical Center offers an annual wellness screening to employees and covered spouses enrolled in the CMMC health insurance plan as part of its employee wellness program. The screening is designed to promote healthy lifestyles and support the early detection of disease and other health concerns.
The on-campus screening includes a health risk assessment, vital signs, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and laboratory testing. The laboratory panel includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Hemoglobin A1C, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Cotinine, and a Lipid (cholesterol) Panel. Male employees age 50 and older also receive a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test.
Following the screening, participants receive a personalized report summarizing their results, including year-to-year trends for those who participate annually.
