Point of Care Testing in Emergency Departments: A Total SolutionDon’t second guess when every second counts
Approximately 70% of patients admitted to hospitals each day come from the Emergency Department1
Each patient that comes to the Emergency Department (ED) has needs you must address through immediate action.
In this environment, the basic evaluation of a patient may provide a real-time clinical picture of overall health, identifying potential issues such as hyperglycemia, respiratory distress, sepsis, and kidney failure to support timely and informed care decisions. On-site creatinine results and pregnancy status are also vital before initial evaluation and management can take place. In all cases, timely transmission of patient data to the laboratory information system (LIS) and different departments is essential when making critical decisions.
Siemens Healthineers understands the challenges you face and can help you transform care delivery by providing the right test in the right place at the right time.
