only clinical or patient-facing employees need to be screened for tuberculosis annually

Explanation:

Analyze healthcare employee vaccination and screening policies

• Healthcare organizations (such as Ochsner Health) typically require all non-remote employees to receive an annual influenza vaccine or formally submit a declination form.
• Remote employees (100% remote) are generally encouraged but not strictly required to receive the flu shot since they do not have physical contact with patients or facilities.
• Tuberculosis (TB) screening is a standard annual requirement for all healthcare employees to ensure safety, where the method (questionnaire vs. physical skin/blood test) depends on their specific clinical or non-clinical role.
