What is PoC Dx A 100+ year romp
DSF Definition The ability to access information in real-time Critical information that defines the state of health of the patient Information whose value depends on its timeliness (and accuracy)
…beginning 100+ years ago • Auscultationis the term for listening to the internal sounds of the body, usually using a stethoscope. Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory systemand respiratory system and breath sounds • Electronic stethoscopescan provide noise reduction and signal enhancement. This is helpful for purposes of telemedicine (remote diagnosis) and teaching. Their availability opened the field to computer-aided auscultation.

Changes in Decentralized IVD Testing and the ACA The new law’s demands are reshaping laboratory strategies Keep pace with insights and observations on the evolving decentralized testing industry. Conversations over the implications of the ACA continue, especially in the area of decentralized testing surrounding reimbursement, affordability and quality of care
