The latest information pertinent to the drug and alcohol testing industry

Compiled by the leading industry organization – and presented by industry experts

The largest-ever networking assembly of industry constituents and affiliates

Hilton New Orleans Riverside – New Orleans, LA

In May 2018, a three-day event will be held that is expected to be the

single largest gathering of professionals involved in drug and alcohol testing

ever assembled. The event, DATIA 2018 – Big Ideas in the Big Easy – DATIA’s

Annual Conference, is the ultimate confluence in critical thinking, best practices, and

networking within the global drug and alcohol testing industry.

DATIA’s annual conference is the singular place

where hundreds of drug and alcohol testing industry

professionals from all over the world meet to learn and

discuss the very latest information on regulatory affairs,

ethics, safety, and the business practices critical to their

organization’s success.

Top-level, influential speakers from the industry and

government will address and interact with conference

attendees to discuss areas of crucial importance.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from the

experiences of other industry professionals and grow

professionally in an environment where sharing of their

own practices on how to best-implement drug and

alcohol testing programs is valued and encouraged.

Because our industry is now working to address changes

in the oversight of prescription drugs, synthetic drugs,

and marijuana laws, attendance of industry professionals

at DATIA 2018 is expected to surpass 850.

Attendance at DATIA 2018 is expected to surpass 850 industry professionals, as has been the norm for the past few years. It’s no coincidence that attendance at DATIA’s annual conference has steadily grown each year since our founding in 1995.

“I loved the opportunity to learn and network and even have fun!”

approaches presented in this session to control for it in your process.

Drug Testing Policies vs Procedures & Statutes vs Regulations – Employer Focused

state statutes and state regulations? It’s a bit complicated during this session, you will

learn to make sense of it. Having a compliant policy in place is just the first step – how

you implement the program and develop company procedures that complement the

policy is even more crucial. Walk away from this session knowing how to build a solid

foundation for a comprehensive and effective workplace program!

How to Have the Right Conversation with the Right People

Susan Lobsinger, Lobdock Impairment Detection

Turn the corner and leap past your current top performing records by building a bullet

proof sales plan! Many drug and alcohol testing companies will get to a certain size,

and then, stop growing because they don’t know how to build a cohesive sales plan

and execute on a consistent basis. During this interactive session, learn how to build

a comprehensive sales plan to grow your business, including how to have the right

conversations to move your prospects closer to a closed contract. If you don’t have a

relationship with the decision-maker, you will learn how to leverage the relationships

you already have in order to get results.

What Service Providers Can Do Now to Prevent Collector Disputes Later

Faye Caldwell, Caldwell Everson PLLC

Proper and legally compliant specimen collection procedures are important to any

drug testing program. As state drug testing requirements continue to evolve to

include new specimen matrices, former challenges are being replaced by new ones.

Medically Assisted Treatment in Drug Courts and Its Impact on Testing

Judge Mary A. Celeste (ret.), LLC

With the legalization of marijuana, the opioid epidemic and the resurgence of

methamphetamine use, now more than ever, drug courts are much needed. The

importance of Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) is increasingly pointing toward

expanding methadone, buprenorphine and Vivitrol treatment in drug courts. Even

medical marijuana may play a role as medically assisted treatment for opioid

use disorder. The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) has

established guidelines for MAT and some Courts vary on their approaches. What

percentage of courts is using MAT? Does the use of MAT vary depending upon

demographics? Which Courts are using what treatments? Does the use of MAT affect

testing protocols? What types of drugs are used for MAT? Should drug treatments be

included for testing? Join Judge Celeste in this session as she shares answers to these

intriguing questions.

Partnering with SAPs in the DOT Return to Duty Process

Heather Thompson, Substance Abuse Professionals of Texas

During this session, explore the critical nature of the relationship between DERs, TPAs,

SAPs, as well as MROs. By identifying and sharing with each other, the constraints

of each role for the various DOT administrations, DERS, TPA’s & MROs will be better

equipped to safeguard compliance of DOT regulations, ensure public safety, and

avoid fines. Participate in this session to discover how to avoid the pitfalls by fostering

cooperative and collegial relationships through intrinsic understanding of each other’s

responsibilities.

13

11:00 AM–12:00 PM Concurrent Sessions

Using the Oil & Gas Guidelines for All Industries

Panel TBD

Through a working partnership between DATIA and the oil and gas industry,

guidelines for drug and alcohol testing for oil and gas contractors (both domestic and

international) were published by the oil and gas industry. Hear from those involved in

implementing and using these guidelines on how these guidelines have streamlined

program gains.

you increase sales leading to business growth. This session will give you specific

strategies and takeaways that you can begin implementing immediately.

Oral Fluid Collection: Meeting SAMHSA Guidelines

Christine Moore, Immunalysis Corporation

Previously proposed SAMHSA guidelines for oral fluid drug testing include

recommendations for collection of two samples (A and B). The device must collect 1mL

of neat oral fluid “A” (primary) and 1mL of neat oral fluid “B” (split) either simultaneously

or serially. A single device for the simultaneous collection of A and B is described.

When positive results were obtained from “A”, the second split “B” was refrigerated

for one year then re-analyzed. During this session, the results will be presented along

with a discussion surrounding the utility of a single collection device for split oral fluid

collections, strategies for addressing changes in workplace drug testing as they relate

to oral fluid analysis, and much more!

Employer/DER Roundtable

2:15 PM–2:30 PM Break

2:30 PM–3:30 PM A Day in the Life of an MRO: How to Make My Day!

David Paine, American Medical Review Officers LLC

The role of the MRO is often not well understood by other Service Agents and employers.

Many Service Agents miss the big picture and don’t see how they impact the rest of the

process. Some examples: collectors often don’t realize the impact of collection errors

or failing to send the CCF to the MRO office. Many don’t know help is just a phone call

away for assistance or regulatory clarification. SAPs often don’t understand nuances of

toxicology yet may be hesitant to call the MRO. MROs need to cooperate with and assist

with SAP questions and be available to collectors, labs, employers and regulatory officials.

No matter if you are a collector, lab, MRO, SAP, or DER, you will leave this session with a

clear understanding of your role and how it fits into the big picture and how, by working

together, we can maximize the drug testing process.
