Improved patient pathway at the Valdemar Private Hospital with Capio Diagnostics' Point of Care Testing system
|
Point of Care Testing (POCT) is an innovative form of testing of patient samples outside a conventional laboratory setting. It provides faster delivery times and can therefore provide a more flexible and efficient laboratory medicine service with potential for efficiencies of medical and economic
outcomes within the healthcare process.
|
The aim of the cooperation between the Valdemar Private Hospital and UK Based Capio Diagnostics is to establish a POCT service at the hospital with IT connections to Capio Diagnostics' POCT business based in Skipton, Yorkshire allowing for remote monitoring and management of the testing undertaken on a POCT basis.
Point of Care Testing can provide a more flexible and efficient laboratory medicine service, offering improved access for the patient, reduced number of clinical visits for patients, improved report turn around time to allow a 'one stop shop' and potential for efficiencies of medical and economic
outcomes within the healthcare process.
"The overall goal for Valdemar Private Hospital using Capio Diagnostics' Point of Care Testing Services is to improve our patient pathway. Thanks to the cooperation with Capio Diagnostics we can now offer our patients an improved patient flow with fewer visits at the hospital says Jens Jacobsen,
Director at the Valdemar Private Hospital.
The delivery of Capio Diagnostics' Point of Care Testing services is built upon a complete service solution and offers 'end to end' connectivity with a transferable electronic diagnostics record. The solution provides network and data security with 24 hour monitoring of all connections, capture of all test data, equipment and operator information, access by the support team from any point in the world, and connection to the customer's electronic patient records if required.
"Capio Diagnostics are leaders in the field of Point of Care Testing services, offering a total solution for healthcare organisations, both public and private. At the request of the County Council of Sörmland in Sweden we currently manage a number of POCT installations in the county. We also manage 15
remote sites across the UK. I am very pleased that we now successfully have completed our first POCT installation in Denmark in cooperation with Valdemar Private Hospital says Yvonne Lech, Managing Director
