QIAstat-Dx Syndromic Testing Webinar

Title: Syndromic testing in a small urban hospital: impact on the lab, patient outcomes, and medical decision making

Speaker: Dr. Michiel van Rijn, Clinical Microbiologist, Ikazia Hospital

This webinar discusses the implementation of a rapid 24/7 PCR service in a small urban hospital setting.

Modern PCR technologies are changing the workflow of medical microbiology laboratories, making it possible to get molecular test results within an hour instead of days to weeks. Smaller and cheaper analyzers also make multiplex PCR techniques possible for smaller laboratories without a molecular testing department.

Although the Ikazia hospital is one of the smaller hospitals in Rotterdam (360 beds), it has offered a "24/7" PCR service to its medical staff for 10 years, starting with molecular screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in 2009. The hospital has expanded its portfolio in the last decade, and most recently, rolled out multiplex syndromic testing in 2018.

In this webinar, Dr. Michiel van Rijn speaks about the implementation of a rapid 24/7 PCR service in his hospital and the effects of this service on patient outcomes and clinical decision making strategies. In particular, he shares his experiences with DiagCORE syndromic testing and his expectation of further use of this technology in the future.

This study was done on the DiagCORE Analyzer using the DiagCORE Respiratory Panel V2. Now available as QIAstat-Dx in some countries. Product availability and claims may differ from country to country based on regulations and approvals. Contact your country representative for further details.

How do you currently use syndromic testing?*

I use syndromic testing regularly in my lab.

I am actively interested in bringing syndromic testing into my lab.

I am interested in incorporating syndromic testing within the next year.

I am interested in learning more, but have no plans to use syndromic testing currently.
