ClearStar expedites Drug Screening Process through integration
with Mobile Wallets
New integration with Apple's iPhone Passbook and Google Wallet,
a first in the industry, provides significant ease-of-use benefits
and enhanced convenience to applicant and efficiency gains for
employer
ClearStar (AIM: CLST), a technology and service provider to the
background check industry, is pleased to announce the integration
of its drug screening services offered by its Medical Information
Services ("MIS") division with the Apple Passbook for iPhone,
Google Wallet and some additional third-party mobile wallet
providers, thereby significantly streamlining the process for the
applicant and providing efficiency gains for the employer. This
represents the first such integration in the drug screening
industry.
The Company's MIS division provides an automated web-based drug
and alcohol testing and results review service primarily for
employers but also direct to employees. ClearStar has now
integrated its online drug and alcohol testing laboratory
registration and electronic custody and control form (WebCCF)
technology with mobile wallets to enable a completely paperless
drug screening process. The benefits for the applicant include the
drug test form being deposited in the virtual wallet on the
applicant's phone - in the same way as a boarding pass, event
ticket or coupon - and displays the address, phone number and hours
of operation of the collection site (where the sample will be taken
to be tested). In addition, it automatically integrates with the
phone's features, such as calendar and location services for map or
route planner to generate automatic reminders and the auto-loading
of the test form on the lock screen as the applicant nears the
collection site.
This product enhancement also brings significant efficiency
gains to the employer during the hiring process. The Company
believes that through the new features, the number of missed
appointments will be reduced and the applicant is less likely to
forget to bring the form to the collection site, which would
otherwise result in the test being rearranged or the administrator
being required to search for the applicant's registration. The
speed of the process at the collection site is increased through
the applicant's registration number being scanned or typed directly
from the phone rather than being read off a piece of paper. This
also reduces the risk of error through the manual input of
data.
Todd Shoulberg, Vice President of Medical Information Services
at ClearStar, said: "The challenge was to develop an integrated
offer to increase the efficiency of the hiring process for both the
applicant and the employer. We feel, with features such as
auto-loading and calendar and location services, we have taken
great strides in making the whole process as smooth as possible for
all concerned. Everything they need is right there onscreen the
second the applicant pulls into the parking lot."
"At ClearStar, we believe that treating the applicant with care
and respect is the best way to treat our customers with care and
respect," added Robert J. Vale, Jr., Chief Executive Officer. "We
are proud to be the first drug screening provider to have
introduced this offering to the market - much in the same way that
we pioneered the automation of medical screening with our WebCCF
technology. This further demonstrates ClearStar's technical
strength as well as our expertise in understanding the needs of
applicants and employers."
