    The past few years have pushed medical practices and health systems to rethink how they deliver medicine and specifically how to provide a higher level of care as patient demands increase. Delivering that higher level of care depends on many factors, but one aspect is providing answers when and where patients seek care. By implementing a system-wide standardized respiratory testing solution, UC Health has improved patient satisfaction and standardized care across more than 70 sites. This webinar will detail a point of care (POC) testing evaluation strategy for choosing new platforms across many clinics, review several considerations that helped guide the system's choice of platform for respiratory testing and offer lessons learned.

    This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

    • Discuss POC evaluation strategy for choosing new platforms across many clinics
    • Review one hospital system’s decision to remove antigen testing for respiratory illness and Group A Strep
    • Review several considerations that helped guide our hospital system’s choice of platform for respiratory testing

    Speaker

    Mary Hammel, MLS(ASCP)
    System POC Manager, UCHealth

    Mary Hammel is a Laboratory Manager at UCHealth in Colorado. In this role and as the Best Practice Team leader, she sets strategic direction for the POC programs at 12 hospitals, 12 FSEDs, and 145 urgent care and primary care clinics for UCHealth.

    Mary has been a laboratory scientist for 18 years with a background in microbiology and molecular diagnostics before moving to POC. She passionately believes that a well-supported POC testing menu is an integral part of a complete hospital laboratory program and can offer critical and lifesaving bedside laboratory testing that is on par with the clinical laboratory. Mary has thorough knowledge of CAP, CLIA, JC regulatory standards and has successfully implemented many large system POC platforms involving over 10 thousand end users. She also enjoys helping labs grow their POC programs. Beyond helping them simply try to keep up with POC testing, Mary focuses on building strong foundations for POC programs to elevate their testing capabilities to the highest level.
