Physician must be a licensed physician who is familiar with the characteristics of the tests used (sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value) and the facilities running the tests. The MRP shall not be 1. Affiliated with the City’s Employee Health Service or 2. An employee of the City of Cincinnati. The role of the MRP will be to review and interpret positive drug test results. He shall examine alternate medical explanations for any positive test results. This may include conducting a medical interview with the affected employee, review of the employee's medical history, review of the chain of custody and review of any other relevant biomedical factors. The MRP must review all medical records made available by the testing employee when a confirmed positive test could have resulted from legally prescribed medication. An employee shall be expected to cooperate promptly with the MRP. The MRP may verify a test as positive without interviewing the affected employee if more than five (5) days elapse after the MRP first attempts to telephone the employee.
