About this task

Conduct a health screen before people enter a location, such as employees returning to the workplace or students returning to campus. Verify the person's return requirement status on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Then complete and submit a health screening form to determine whether the person is able to enter the location.

The following procedure includes the steps your organization might use in setting up health screening. Some of the steps might not be applicable to your location.

Note: If the ServiceNow® Customer Service Management (CSM) application is activated, the health screen can be performed for CSM consumers and contacts. The customer service agent [sn_customerservice_agent] and consumer service agent [sn_customerservice.consumer_agent] roles can optionally be given to health screeners so that they can view additional CSM information on the health screening form, but these roles are not required for screening consumers and contacts. For more information about using Customer Service Management with Employee Health Screening, see Integrate Customer Service Management with Safe Workplace applications.
