Healthcare professionals face
ever-changing, complex challenges in all
areas of care delivery whether it’s in
the Emergency department or in the
pre-hospital phase. This webinar aims to
provide insight from essential roles in
the pre-hospital phase such as EMS first
responders, EMTs, and paramedics. Often,
this group of personnel are tasked with
managing acute health episodes and
chronic disease exacerbations.
With the use
of point-of-care testing (POCT) devices
in these settings, POCT can help with
the identification of conditions like
hyperkalemia, elevated lactate levels
indicative of septic shock, kidney
injuries through creatinine levels, and
differentiating respiratory distress
from failure for appropriate
interventions. |

This webinar will: |
|
|
|
| |
- Examine EMS workflows, highlighting
the use of POCT devices in various emergency scenarios
- Review best practices in the
pre-hospital setting from seasoned EMS officers
- Identify the challenges faced
during the implementation and use of a point of care blood
gas testing system in the pre-hospital setting and discuss
methods to overcome them

Laboratory testing
errors can occur throughout all phases of the testing process,
with 62% of laboratory testing errors occurring during the
pre-analytical stage.1,2
Healthcare faces ever-changing,
complex challenges in quality management. Notably, these include
the practice of adapting traditional lab standards to
point-of-care testing (POCT), where errors are frequent during
the pre-analytical phase.
Applying traditional laboratory
standards to point-of-care testing poses significant challenges.
This webinar is set to explore CLIA quality standards and
spotlight the effectiveness of Integri-sense® Technology
integrated into RAPIDPoint® 500e Blood Gas System. This
innovative set of technologies serves as an automated quality
management system designed to execute a series of comprehensive
checks and balances. It spans all testing phases—pre-analytical,
analytical, and post-analytical—to guarantee precise patient
test results.
This webinar's emphasis on CLIA
quality standards and the integration of Integri-sense
Technology within RAPIDPoint 500e system seeks to illuminate the
path toward enhanced quality management at the point of care. By
examining the multifaceted aspects of quality assurance
processes and technology's role in bolstering accuracy, this
webinar endeavors to equip healthcare professionals with the
knowledge and tools necessary to deliver precise and reliable
patient outcomes.

Medical
device connectivity to the internet, hospital networks, and other
medical devices gives healthcare providers quick access to accurate,
up-to-date patient information, which can lead to improved quality of
care. However, along with these benefits, connectivity also brings
cybersecurity risks that pose a threat to the safety of patients,
patient information, and hospital operations. This risk is very real.
There were an estimated 494 data breaches in 2019, with more than 41.11
million patient records exposed or stolen. Cybersecurity breaches are
expected to cost the healthcare industry $4 billion in 2020. Mitigating
cybersecurity risk is critical yet challenging, and the U.S. FDA has
called on manufacturers, hospitals, and facilities to work together to
manage the risk.
In this webinar, we will review the problem of cybersecurity and
identify common cybersecurity threats and attacks. The issue of
cybersecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic will be reviewed. We will
also describe how hospitals and medical device manufacturers can partner
to mitigate cybersecurity issues. Additionally, we will discuss best
practices for medical devices, highlighting security features designed
into a new benchtop blood gas analyzer.
