ShiftMed and ShiftMed Partners are collectively working together to ensure that all ShiftMed employees are in accordance with state and local testing requirements. Facilities offering testing to care providers are indicated in the ShiftMed App with the below icon:

Every ShiftMed employee should have baseline testing on their profile for their respective state. Currently, there is no official regulation for COVID-19 testing at the federal level, and various states have begun to release minimum baseline testing requirements for nursing home staff. At ShiftMed, we are following this regulation closely and expect the below testing requirements to be federally approved shortly.

At a minimum, ShiftMed employees should upload testing results within the past month. If regularly working at a community, expect to be tested on a bi-weekly basis. If an outbreak has occurred, including an asymptomatic positive reading at facility, you should except weekly testing until there are no longer any positive COVID cases. The ShiftMed App will help you to manage this information so it is very important that as you are getting test results, you are uploading them into the App - here.

Please continue to monitor and listen to your local and state's guidelines which ShiftMed will update as new information is made available.

**COVID-19 Testing Results in the past month are required for Guaranteed Shifts - here.

The ShiftMed app provides lots of resources for finding testing centers nearby in addition to facilities that are currently offering testing to ShiftMed employees. If receiving or expecting a test at your upcoming shift, ensure to arrive 30 minutes early for testing.
