The Transformative Power of Point-of-Care Testing (POCT)

Join us for an insightful session highlighting the transformative impact of point-of-care testing (POCT), particularly in underserved and high-risk populations. Discover how POCT enables immediate, data-driven decisions, improving chronic disease outcomes, reducing disparities, and fostering deeper patient engagement for more equitable and efficient care.

The Value of POCT for Managing Patients at Risk or Living with Chronic Disease Including Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Chronic Kidney Disease

In this session, Dr. Eden Miller highlights the value of point-of-care testing offering primary care providers a powerful tool to deliver timely, actionable insights during the patient visit—streamlining chronic disease management where it matters most. This session highlights how integrating POCT into routine workflows can improve adherence, personalize care, and reduce delays in treatment for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. By leveraging POCT, primary care teams can close care gaps, enhance patient trust, and drive better long-term outcomes in a resource-efficient way.

The Value of POCT for Community Health: Meeting People Where They Are

Dr. Olu Jegede discusses how point-of-care testing is a game-changer for primary care, especially in underserved and high-risk populations where timely intervention can mean the difference between progression and prevention. This session explores how POCT empowers clinicians to make immediate, data-driven decisions that improve chronic disease outcomes while fostering deeper patient engagement. By leveraging POCT to meet patients where they are, we can bridge systemic gaps, reduce disparities, and deliver more equitable, efficient care at the frontlines of medicine.
