Point of Care Testing - Webinars

This webinar will explore how urinalysis and rapid antigen testing at the point of care are a key component to an overall strategy for syndromic testing and antibiotic stewardship programs.

Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the AACC.

Pediatric populations present unique challenges when collecting and processing laboratory samples. Many pediatric areas collect capillary samples which are prone to clotting. In these areas, it is also important in to minimize the amount of blood taken during laboratory sample collection. Point of Care testing can often be a great option to help minimize pre-analytic errors, decrease recollections, and aid in blood conservation.

During this discussion of diabetes in the context of Covid-19, Dr. Kaufman will explain why HbA1c testing is even more important in today’s healthcare landscape and explore the hypotheses and pathophysiology behind this recent trend. 

Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the AACC

A look at the paradigm shift in the care of patients with ACS. How the Atellica® VTLi Patient-side immunoassay analyzer may revolutionize the treatment pathway at the point of care.

• Identify benefits of Point of Care Testing (POCT)
• Identify challenges of operating and managing POCT
• Describe impact of POCT on various hospital departments

This webinar discusses how to take control of a POCT network by designing and implementing an effective, centralized, and vendor independent POCT workflow solution, including operator monitoring and automatic recertification.

This clinical education webinar explores UTIs and the role of urinalysis in early detection.

Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the AACC.

• Recognize indications for ordering an arterial blood gas
• Identify simple and mixed acid-base disorders
• Review compensatory responses
• Understand the etiology of acid-base disorders

This webinar focuses on the proper sample handling technique to minimize pre-analytical errors in blood gas testing.

This webinar focuses on the current global burden on heart failure, and the key role of Natriuetic peptides in the diagnosis of heart failure, highlighted in both the Universal Definition and the European Society of Cardiology 2021 guidelines.

This webinar focuses on the cardiovascular operating room and the challenges/issues experienced in the CVOR through the various procedures.

This webinar will discuss the implementation of POCT and highlight the impact on cost, sepsis bundle compliance and employee engagement.

This webinar will cover the utilization of high sensitivity cardiac troponin (cTn) in the emergency department (ED) and its impact when delivered via a rapid point of care device or core laboratory.
