Managing Your Point-of-Care Testing Environment: Advice from the Experts

In this fully-accredited webinar, Cameron Martin of Queensland Health, point-of-care coordinator for all of Queensland, Australia, will present an overview of how one of the world’s largest point-of-care testing (POCT) networks achieved integration using POC informatics. He will discuss his key findings from the project - evaluating how a single, centralized, open, and vendor-neutral POC informatics environment that was scalable and cost-effective was created, whilst conforming with ISO guidelines. You will also learn about the role of training and managing operators ‘by exception’.
