1 Hour
In this webinar, our presenters, Marcy Anderson and Chad Juhl, will address the challenges of adapting traditional lab standards to POCT and exploring automated quality management. This integration spans across all testing phases—pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical—ensuring precise patient test results across diverse point-of-care settings.
This webinar will address several key learning objectives:
Join us for a dynamic webinar exploring the latest innovations in point-of-care diagnostics and the rapid evaluation of suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This session will highlight the safety and effectiveness of the 0–2-hour diagnostic algorithm using high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) assays, a game-changer in emergency cardiac care.
What to Expect:
Whether you're an emergency physician, cardiologist, or lab professional, this webinar is your opportunity to stay ahead in the evolving field of cardiac diagnostics. Don't miss the chance to engage in a live Q&A with industry-leading experts.
In this webinar, you will learn about a real-world use case of point-of-care testing within the pre-hospital phase. Our presenters, Chris Briggs, M.S., and Justin Northeim, D.O., both accredited EMS professionals, will discuss their direct experiences when incorporating POCT into their routine EMS activities.
The audience will learn to:
This webinar will review an evidence-based and end-user focused strategy created to support early identification and follow up of microvascular disease for patients living with diabetes and experiencing homelessness. Care providers and laboratory professionals will be provided opportunity to learn more about a minimally-disruptive model that leverages point of care tests, and to reflect on how they can pivot to better meet the needs of end-users within their respective practice.Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the ADLM.
This webinar will examine initial findings from the ICare-FASTER trial, focusing on faster risk-stratification methods in emergency care. Dr. Martin Than will showcase the impact of point-of-care technology on reducing patient length of stay at Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand. Attendees will gain insights into adopting high-sensitivity troponin testing to improve patient care and resource management in emergency departments.
Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the ADLM.
Making Sense of Intregri-sense™ Technology: Quality Assurance at each Analytical Stage
Healthcare grapples with intricate quality management challenges, notably in adapting traditional lab standards to point-of-care testing (POCT), where errors commonly occur in the pre-analytical phase. The adoption of near-patient testing like POCT minimizes the risk of these pre-analytical errors. This webinar delves into CLIA quality standards of how the Integri-sense Technology with the RAPIDPoint® 500e Blood Gas System, emphasizing automated quality checks throughout testing phases to ensure accurate patient results and equipping healthcare professionals with the tools to deliver reliable patient outcomes.
Overcoming pre-analytical issues in blood gas testing
This webinar will address challenges that can impact blood gas testing due to pre-analytic factors such as sample collection, environmental exposure, and proper sample mixing.
Key Objectives:
Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the ADLM and/or P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS.
Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 people in the world and the vast majority of them are also considered to be obese. Lifestyle interventions remain paramount in the prevention and management of these conditions. This webinar reviews evidence-based strategies to support personalized multidisciplinary interventions for patients living with diabetes and obesity.
1 hour
This webinar will explore how Bumrungrad International Hospital in Thailand implemented a single POCT Data Management solution to help meet their organizational needs.
Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the AACC and/or P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS.
Best Practice for the Use of Urine hCG Pregnancy Tests
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is growing in popularity as a means of delivering faster turnaround time of test results closer to the patient. This session will review the latest recommendations and clinical scenarios where rapid diagnosis of pregnancy is needed. The benefits and limitations of POCT will be explored.
Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the AACC.
Strategies for Syndromic Testing and Antibiotic Stewardship
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.
The connection between Covid-19 and Diabetes: Where are we headed?
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
