CSI procedures regarding “non-invasive” procedures acceptable for health screenings

Answer from Anne Sackrison:

We don’t have a policy or definition. We can’t get involved with services but I would agree with Rachel’s suggested definition that screenings are acceptable but skin piercings or anything that has to be digested would be a serious red flag for me.

Answer from Rachel based on conversations with Sharon and Sheila:

The way that it has been explained is nothing that pierces the skin or is ingested. Hence, no shots or blood draws. However, screenings including blood pressure, vision, hearing, gait, balance, height, weight, memory, mental acuity, etc. are permissible.

Question:

We are working on the possibility of scheduling the Wayne County Health on Wheels Truck. The question at the moment is, can I have an exact CSI definition of “non-invasive” procedures?
