POCT Manager Olubunmi Martindale-Sheldon will present the findings from her comparative study of urine chemistry analysis methods used at Imperial College Healthcare, one of the largest National Healthcare Trusts in the UK. She will discuss the study, which encompassed three hospitals and nine clinical areas with medium to high urinalysis volumes, review her results analysis, and quantify the benefits of using automation versus visual methods.
During this webinar, you will:
- Discover how implementing automated urinalysis systems can improve testing accuracy, streamline workflow efficiencies, and reduce overall cost.
- Review testing methods that eliminate transcription errors and the subjectivity of visual-read tests.
- Understand how fully connected POCT systems can help you better manage operators, document training efforts, and maintain accreditation standards.
P.A.C.E. and ACCENT credits are available to registrants who participate.
This webinar is recommended for:
- Nurses, physicians, and physicians’ assistants who cover point-of-care testing in their practices
- Point-of-care coordinators and managers
- Laboratory directors and personnel
