Patient Blood Testing: Assessing clinical workflow efficiency in POCT & Lab
August 5, 2024
Attendees of the presentation can expect to delve into several key aspects crucial to modern POC healthcare settings.
About this webinar
We will explore how POCT addresses the pressing issue of hospital labor shortages. The discussion will also highlight the challenges and benefits of standardizing testing protocols across departments and facilities to improve efficiency and consistency in patient care.
Furthermore, we'll examine current inefficiencies in traditional testing workflows and how POCT can streamline these processes, leading to quicker turnaround times and enhanced patient outcomes. Additionally, strategies for robust data management and backups in POCT settings will be discussed to ensure data integrity and compliance with regulatory standards.
Lastly, the presentation will look towards the future, discussing innovations in POCT technologies and their integration with traditional laboratory practices. This forward-looking approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of how POCT can continue to evolve and contribute to the advancement of clinical diagnostics and patient-centered care.
