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:

  1. To emphasize the importance of laboratory and testing professionals building and sustaining   strong relationships with their partners.
  2. 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.
