Join us Wednesday, October 30th at 2pm Eastern for a free webinar, Enhancing Laboratory Efficiency & Reducing Turnaround Times, sponsored by bioMérieux and hosted by Dark Daily. You already know that continuous process improvement (CPI) and time-based microbiology can streamline your workflows, reduce wait times, and improve overall laboratory efficiency. But too often microbiology labs rely on traditional methods that extend turnaround times and early treatment. An uninterrupted workflow allows for delivery of more continuous and information to clinicians, enabling more timely patient management decisions. This webinar features industry expert Heinz Salazar from Tampa General Hospital and Awilda Rivera-Acosta from Texas Children's Hospital. They will explore how: -Outdated lab practices can lead to inefficient workflows and delays. -The structured approach of CPI can optimize lab processes and eliminate bottlenecks. -Real-world examples demonstrate how organizations have successfully implemented these strategies to improve turnaround times and patient care.

📢 Upcoming Webinar hosted by #LabVine Have you registered? We are excited about our upcoming webinar focused on the essential yet often underappreciated clinical laboratory test: urine analysis. This routine test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various disorders and underlying diseases. As we move into an era of automated laboratory testing, understanding the automation of routine testing like urine analysis is more important than ever. During this webinar, Prof. Dr.Srinivas Chakravarthy will delve into the automation of urine analysis using integrated analyzers and the application of flow cytometry for auto-particle recognition. Prof. Dr.Srinivas Chakravarthy will provide a comprehensive comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of automation and digital imaging, simplifying the evaluation and validation of test results. Key Topics: > The importance of urine analysis in clinical diagnostics. > Enhancing the effectiveness of urine analysis through automation. > The role of integrated analyzers in modern laboratories. > Using flow cytometry for auto-particle recognition. > A comparative analysis of automation versus digital imaging in urine analysis. > The impact of automation on laboratory performance and global health outcomes. This webinar is a must-attend for laboratory professionals and healthcare practitioners aiming to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving field of automated laboratory testing. The knowledge gained will have a significant impact on improving laboratory performance globally, enabling more accurate and efficient diagnostic practices. Date: 11 July, 2024 Time: 11:00 am UTC Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/daaKe2Pt Join us for this insightful session and be part of the future of automated laboratory testing. #LabTesting #UrineAnalysis #Automation #HealthcareInnovation #Webinar #MedicalWebinar #LaboratoryScience #FreeWebinar

Very insightful publication on multilevel network meta-regression (ML-NMR) and its potential in health technology assessments. This extension of the standard network meta-analysis framework addresses the challenges of existing indirect treatment methods, allowing for comprehensive treatment comparisons. #HealthTechnologyAssessment #IndirectTreatmentComparison #MetaAnalysis #HEOR

By integrating a clinical-grade Knowledgebase with the Clinical Genomics Workspace (CGW), you can quickly make informed decisions regarding patient treatment. The Velsera Knowledgebase offers current information on clinical trials, medical literature, drug labels, and additional relevant data. Utilizing this information, CGW facilitates the automatic assessment of variant significance, enabling the creation of reports that present the most relevant therapeutic options to the treating clinician. This integration not only saves your team time but also ensures the delivery of high-quality clinical results, ultimately leading to the best possible treatment for your patients.

Part 2 of my 3-part series on Long Covid and the Gut is now available to view. This week, I present my hypothesis for a Long Covid Microbiome Phenotype, pieced together from clinical practice, in-clinic testing, research collaborations, and my current research project. For those of you who missed Part 1, I will tag it in the comments. Next week, I will discuss some of the specific gastrointestinal conditions seen in Long Covid-type presentations, along with insights into the clinical roadmap that I have been using in practice to provide support and a timeline for interventions. https://lnkd.in/eUdYywwP
