This hands-on course focuses on identifying problems and challenges faced in point-of-care testing (POCT). This includes the key components of setting up a training program, administering regulatory-focused competency assessment, vendor, and program integration of quality management systems, and maintaining regulatory compliance in the face of changes. In this course, we will discuss how to carry out daily operational management to ensure high quality results and start-to-finish project management of implementing point-of-care connectivity for vendors and point-of-care managers. The faculty will also highlight how to use data analytics to help address problems related to preanalytical, analytical and post-analytical errors. Seasoned veterans and novices alike will appreciate the discussion and problem-solving elements. Presentations and break-out sessions include interactive participation polls, table exercises, and peer-to-peer discussion.
This activity is designed for physicians, advanced practice professionals (NPs, PAs, RNs, etc.), lab supervisors, lab directors (and/or assistant directors), lab managers (supervisory and/or non-supervisory), medical technologists, point-of-care coordinators, in-training individuals, and other laboratory professionals overseeing/conducting within this topic.
Experience as a point-of-care coordinator or experience in point-of-care testing is helpful, but not required. Breakout sessions will be customizable for those in attendance with prior point-of-care testing knowledge.
Participants are encouraged to bring business cards to share with those they want to stay in contact with or who can act as a resource after leaving this university course.
