During this course you will learn why molecular syndromic testing in a decentralized setting is increasingly important for both disease management and infection control. This course will share the experience and value of Point-of-Impact testing of respiratory viral diagnostics at the University Medical Center Groningen.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:

  • Discuss the relative effectiveness of using rapid and sensitive multiplex PCR to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory infections.
  • Identify how diagnostic stewardship stimulates a co-creative approach.
  • Evaluate the cost effectiveness of rapid multiplex PCR testing from centralized to decentralized Point-of-Impact testing for diagnosis of respiratory infections in pediatric patients.
  • Describe how maximizing the detection of respiratory infections at the Point-of-Impact may reduce nosocomial infections and avoid unnecessary isolations.
