Achieving Concordance Between POC Test Results and Central Lab Test Results

Thursday, November 21, 2013 2:00 PM - Thursday, November 21, 2013 3:00 PM

Achieving Concordance Between POCT Results and Central Lab Results is the last of eight programs in the AACC/Seattle Children’s Hospital Lab Management Series of webinars. When clinicians interpret a test result, they aren’t expecting that the result they receive from a point-of-care (POC) assay could be lower or higher than a result generated in a central laboratory using the same patient’s blood. Because such discrepancies can affect clinical decisionmaking, labs must be able to identify affected assays and achieve concordance between the two. Attend this webinar and learn how to meet the challenges involved in achieving concordance between test methods.
