Event Description
As point-of-care testing continues to expand in hospitals, clinics, and at-home settings, the concept of clinical partnership takes on a new meaning. In this webinar, we will discuss the partnership between laboratory and clinical practitioners, as well as the inclusion of patients (consumers).
The goals of this webinar are:
- To emphasize the importance of laboratory and testing professionals building and sustaining strong relationships with their partners.
- To emphasize how these relationships ensure the laboratory and testing communities keep prioritizing quality and safety.
Event Objectives
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate point-of-care testing needs by considering ease of use, clinical need, and cost- effectiveness.
- Develop a collaborative framework within the healthcare system that encourages partnership among clinical teams, patients, and laboratory professionals.
- Develop and implement processes to optimize test utilization, improve patient safety, and ensure quality testing.
