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

• 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.

• 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.
