Standardizing POC Respiratory Testing Workflows Across Care Sites
Enable Improved Consistency and Decision-Making
Decentralized respiratory testing continues to expand across physician offices, urgent care centers, and healthcare systems, creating new operational and workflow challenges. Many organizations face inconsistent testing processes, staffing constraints, limited connectivity, delayed results reporting, and difficulty standardizing workflows across multiple testing locations. These gaps may contribute to increased administrative burden, repeat testing, delays in clinical decision-making, reduced operational efficiency, and limited visibility of patient diagnostic information across care settings.
This webinar will review current challenges impacting respiratory testing workflows and discuss strategies to improve operational consistency, testing standardization, connectivity, and same-visit clinical decision-making. Attendees will gain practical insights into optimizing decentralized molecular testing workflows to support more efficient patient management, streamlined operations, and improved coordination of care across healthcare environments.
Learning Objectives
This webinar will help you:
- Describe the operational and clinical challenges impacting respiratory molecular POC testing across healthcare delivery settings
- Identify workflow inefficiencies and connectivity gaps that may affect POC testing standardization and patient management
- Discuss the role of POC molecular testing in supporting timely clinical decision-making and workflow optimization
- Evaluate how integrated POC respiratory testing strategies may support operational consistency, testing visibility, and patient care coordination across healthcare systems
Fisher Healthcare is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E.™ Program. One P.A.C.E.™ credit-hour will be provided for this complimentary basic level program.
