An incentive for centralization of diagnostic testing is the possibility to improve testing efficiency, while lowering the cost per test. However, there are situations where near-patient testing can be of greater benefit to the patient. Not only is on-site testing convenient for the patient, omitting the need to travel a longer distance to a site for blood sampling and testing. On-site testing can also be crucial for reducing turnaround time in case quick response is required to meet urgent clinical needs.

Traditional methods of hemoglobin monitoring may provide values intermittently due to the multiple steps required to obtain the lab values. These lab results are intermittent spot checks, providing a singular value from a point in time. Discover in this #ClinicalView article some of the benefits of continuous and non-invasive hemoglobin monitoring, including some evidence showing reduction in unnecessary transfusions and improvement in patient outcomes. #PatientMonitoring

Rapid Troponin measurement is an important part of ED practice that can provide decisive information for patient management. However, there are several variables in the laboratory workflow that can impact the quality of a #cardiac Troponin assay, potentially leading to a delay in diagnosis. Furthermore, diagnostic discrepancies that require Troponin retesting may impact the lab’s annual operating costs. Leverage the #SiemensHealthineers DX Troponin Cost Impact calculator & Pocket Guide to help provide insights about retesting costs– indicating areas of focus for improvement. https://lnkd.in/gVkkWUDK

Point of Care diagnostic devices are only as good as the samples provided for analysis. But high-quality specimens are hard to obtain outside clinical settings. This whitepaper looks at the blood and urine sample collection issue and considers how it can be resolved to improve the efficacy of decentralised diagnostic testing.

Why Lyme testing is driving doctors crazy 🔬 Ever wonder why Lyme is so hard to diagnose? Here's the mind-bending truth: Every single person responds differently to EACH antibody test. Yes, you read that right. It's not just person-to-person variety - even within the same person, different antibodies trigger different responses. No wonder it's so complicated!
