Point of Care Testing in Emergency Departments: A Total SolutionDon’t second guess when every second counts

Each patient that comes to the Emergency Department (ED) has needs you must address through immediate action.

In this environment, the basic evaluation of a patient may include addressing problems such as hyperglycemia, respiratory distress, sepsis or kidney failure. Obtaining those results quickly is imperative when every second counts.  In addition, on-site creatinine results and pregnancy status are also vital before initial evaluation and management can take place. In all cases, timely transmission of patient data to the laboratory information system (LIS) and different departments is essential when making critical decisions.
