The point-of-care coordinator for all of Queensland, Australia, Cameron Martin of Queensland Health will present his findings and overview of the integration of one of the world's largest POCT networks using POC informatics. Cameron explains how he created a single, centralized, open, and vendor-neutral POC informatics environment that is scalable and cost-effective, while also conforming with ISO guidelines. Learn about the role of training and managing operators “by exception.”
During this webinar, you will:
- Discover how, with innovation, it is possible to establish a functional, high-quality POC testing system.
- Learn how disruptive changes can now extend pathology into new areas and new ways to improve your KPIs.
- Understand how online training can help you better manage and train operators remotely, enabling you to manage operators’ access, precisely track training, and know which operators are current, and thereby allowing you to train by exception vs. blindly targeting everyone.
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
