In pediatric critical care transport, every second matters. Join Timothy McLaughlin, RN, BSN, CFRN, EMT from MetroHealth System, as he explores how point-of-care testing (POCT) provides real-time lab data, empowering transport teams to make rapid, informed decisions even in resource-limited settings.

What to expect:

• The impact of POCT in enhancing pediatric patient outcomes from a critical care specialist.
• Practical knowledge for implementing POCT to improve emergency transport and acute care effectiveness.

In this webinar, our presenters, Marcy Anderson and Chad Juhl, will address the challenges of adapting traditional lab standards to POCT and exploring automated quality management. This integration spans across all testing phases—pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical—ensuring precise patient test results across diverse point-of-care settings.

This webinar will address several key learning objectives:

• Define sources of error in point-of-care testing.
• Recognize design attributes that mitigate risk in point-of-care testing.
• Demonstrate the features and benefits of a comprehensive POC informatics system.

Join us for a dynamic webinar exploring the latest innovations in point-of-care diagnostics and the rapid evaluation of suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This session will highlight the safety and effectiveness of the 0–2-hour diagnostic algorithm using high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) assays, a game-changer in emergency cardiac care.

What to Expect:

• Insights into rapid cardiac diagnostics with hs-cTn assays, reducing time to decision-making.
• Strategies for integrating POC testing in emergency and clinical settings to improve patient outcomes.
• Expert presentations from renowned specialists in cardiac biomarkers and acute care pathways.

Whether you're an emergency physician, cardiologist, or lab professional, this webinar is your opportunity to stay ahead in the evolving field of cardiac diagnostics. Don't miss the chance to engage in a live Q&A with industry-leading experts.

In this webinar, you will learn about a real-world use case of point-of-care testing within the pre-hospital phase. Our presenters, Chris Briggs, M.S., and Justin Northeim, D.O., both accredited EMS professionals, will discuss their direct experiences when incorporating POCT into their routine EMS activities.

The audience will learn to:

• Comprehensively examine EMS workflows, highlighting the use of POCT devices in various emergency scenarios
• Identify how to overcome challenges faced during the implementation and use of POCT in the pre-hospital setting
• And lastly, hear best practices in the pre-hospital setting from seasoned EMS officers

This webinar will review an evidence-based and end-user focused strategy created to support early identification and follow up of microvascular disease for patients living with diabetes and experiencing homelessness. Care providers and laboratory professionals will be provided opportunity to learn more about a minimally-disruptive model that leverages point of care tests, and to reflect on how they can pivot to better meet the needs of end-users within their respective practice.

Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the ADLM.

This webinar will examine initial findings from the ICare-FASTER trial, focusing on faster risk-stratification methods in emergency care. Dr. Martin Than will showcase the impact of point-of-care technology on reducing patient length of stay at Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand. Attendees will gain insights into adopting high-sensitivity troponin testing to improve patient care and resource management in emergency departments.

Attendees are entitled to P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS and/or ACCENT credits from the ADLM.

Healthcare grapples with intricate quality management challenges, notably in adapting traditional lab standards to point-of-care testing (POCT), where errors commonly occur in the pre-analytical phase. The adoption of near-patient testing like POCT minimizes the risk of these pre-analytical errors. This webinar delves into CLIA quality standards of how the Integri-sense Technology with the RAPIDPoint® 500e Blood Gas System, emphasizing automated quality checks throughout testing phases to ensure accurate patient results and equipping healthcare professionals with the tools to deliver reliable patient outcomes.

This webinar will address challenges that can impact blood gas testing due to pre-analytic factors such as sample collection, environmental exposure, and proper sample mixing.

Key Objectives:

• Identify the ideal collection methods for blood gas testing
• Identify the challenges of collection and pre-analytic sample handling
• Describe the impact of pre-analytic challenges on Point of Care (POCT) blood gas testing

Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the ADLM and/or P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS.

Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 people in the world and the vast majority of them are also considered to be obese. Lifestyle interventions remain paramount in the prevention and management of these conditions. This webinar reviews evidence-based strategies to support personalized multidisciplinary interventions for patients living with diabetes and obesity.

Attendees are entitled to ACCENT credits from the ADLM and/or P.A.C.E. credits from the ASCLS.

Pediatric populations present unique challenges when collecting and processing laboratory samples. Many pediatric areas collect capillary samples which are prone to clotting. In these areas, it is also important in to minimize the amount of blood taken during laboratory sample collection. Point of Care testing can often be a great option to help minimize pre-analytic errors, decrease recollections, and aid in blood conservation.
