Healthcare Diagnostics and Testing Events | Nanogen

American Associate for Clinical Chemistry (AACC)

Jul 27 - 31, 2008
Washington, DC
Washington Convention Center

Attend Nanogen's workshop at the AACC meeting to hear Dr. Aaron Baggish and Dr. Alan Wu discuss CPOCT in the ED and alternate sites:

"CPOCT - in the ED and Alternate Sites: Are We Ready for It; Is It Ready for Us?"

Cardiology Consensus groups mandate that turn-around-time (TAT) for Cardiac Markers be less than 60 minutes. Given the "vein to brain" concept, less than 45 minutes is the goal. Despite laboratory efforts, a TAT of less than one hour is nearly impossible. Are we ready for CPOCT - data management, QC, cost containment? Is CPOCT ready for us - evidence based outcomes, technological maturity, accurate results, reasonable price? At the conclusion, participants will understand:

Medical literature demonstrating outcomes of CPOCT
The pivotal role the lab plays in CPOCT
The true cost/benefits of implementing CPOCT
How on the spot results integrate into real time decision making processes

Aaron L. Baggish, MD

Alan H.B. Wu, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Lab Medicine, UC San Francisco
