POCT improves care timeliness in the emergency department
Join this exclusive, sponsored Radiometer webinar on how Point of Care Testing (POCT) improves care timeliness in the emergency department.
When: May 6th 2026
Time: 15:00 - 16:00 CET
The programme of this webinar will cover findings from the published POCTUR multicenter randomized clinical trial demonstrating how POCT testing improves care timeliness in emergency departments, with specific focus on the clinical impact of creatinine and urea testing at the point of care.
It is aimed at ED Physicians/Nurses, POCT coordinators, and clinical laboratory professionals who want to learn about the following:
- Utilizing point-of-care testing to enhance care timeliness and clinical decision-making for patients requiring renal function assessment in emergency department settings.
- Clinical evidence on point of care testing efficacy in ED.
- Practical implementation of creatine (and urea) POCT in ED settings.
