Point-of-Care Webinar Series
Watch: POC Testing: Cost vs. Convenience—May 9, 2019
The Cost vs. Convenience webinar discusses which tests can make a positive impact in the point-of-care testing (POCT) setting. The webinar challenges the conventional wisdom about which lab tests impact treatment decisions, explores reasons to test at the point of care, and presents statistical data and anecdotal information regarding the impact of lab testing on reductions in morbidity and mortality. You will explore multiple rationales for POCT, including screening options, how chronic disease management is improved by POCT, and how POCT complements vital signs measurements. Along the way, you will learn more about POCT management criteria that optimize in-office lab testing performance and lead to higher levels of staff and patient satisfaction.
