DESCRIPTION:Nova Biomedical* presents… “Consequences of FDA Changes to Critically Ill Bedside Glucose Testing Regulations” \nPart I: Clinical Consequences  |  “Venous\, arterial\, and now capillary specimens are all FDA cleared for testing critically ill patients – Are all specimen types analytically and clinically equivalent?” \nThe choice of specimen type is an important consideration\, particularly for critically ill patients. This presentation will cover the analytical performance differences between different specimen types and their clinical significance. The data is based on the results of an FDA comparison study of 16\,778 paired patients test results. \nPart I Learning Objectives: \n\nAnalytical performance differences\nClinical significance of these differences\nSuggested best practice testing procedures\n\nPart I presenter: \n \nJeffrey A. DuBois\, Ph.D.  |  VP of Medical and Scientific Affairs  |  Nova Biomedical \n*             *             *             *             * \nPart II: Regulatory/Legal Consequences  |  “Regulatory requirements for off-label testing and the consequences of non-compliance”“ \nOne meter is FDA cleared and CLIA waived for use with all patients including critically ill. Use of all other meters with any critically ill patient population is considered off label by FDA and CMS. Hospitals cannot change the FDA’s off-label testing designations using their own testing or definitions. This presentation will review the history and rationale for recent FDA changes to bedside glucose testing in critically ill patients and the regulatory and legal consequences of off-label testing for caregivers and hospitals. \nPart II Learning Objectives: \n\nThe history and rationale for the FDA’s requirements for off-label bedside glucose testing from 2010 to 2018\nUnderstand when bedside glucose testing is off-label\nFDA testing requirements for off-label bedside glucose testing\nPatient risks if off-label testing is used for critically ill patients\nCaregiver’s personal liability risks when performing off-label glucose testing\nHospital liability risks when performing off-label glucose testing\nCLIA risks when performing off-label glucose testing\n\nPart II Presenter: \n \nNatalia Mazina\, Esq. |  Compliance Attorney |  FDA \nContinuing education credits |  Lab and Nursing  |  This program is accredited by the Society for Clinical Laboratory Science\, American Association of Critical Care Nurses\, American Society for Health Care Risk Management\, and ACCENT to offer a total of 1.00 CE credit (1.00 max). \nQuestions should be directed to Nova Biomedical: (781) 894-0800 |  info@novabiomedical.com \n* NOTE: This is a contracted supplier-sponsored webinar.

SUMMARY:"Clostridium Difficile Infection Guideline Update: Understanding the Data Behind the Recommendations"
DESCRIPTION:Download a copy of this presentation. \nAccess the recording. \nHealthTrust & Abbott (formerly Alere) present… \nProgram Summary \nClostridium difficile infection (CDI) causes intestinal inflammation that can lead to\nserious and life-threatening illnesses. In a healthcare environment such as a\nhospital or nursing home\, C-diff can easily spread through contaminated surfaces\nor person-to-person contact. CDIs pose a serious threat and require rapid clinical\ndecisions. In the United States\, C-diff is linked to more than 30\,000 deaths a year.\nDuring the past several years\, the focus of C-diff testing has moved from organism\nidentification to a renewed interest in detecting the toxins that cause the disease.\nThe incidence of patients who are simply colonized with C-diff is up to 10 times the\nnumber of patients with active CDI. Treating carriers is often ineffective and may\neven increase the risk of the patient developing CDI. This program will cover\nupdated 2017 CDI treatment guidelines and recommendations from the Infectious\nDiseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of\nAmerica (SHEA)\, describe how those updates apply to patient populations\, and\ndemonstrate how the microbiology laboratory can assist in preventing CDIs. \nLearning Objectives  | At the end of this session\, participants should be able to: \n\nInterpret the updated IDSA/SHEA CDI guidelines and treatment recommendations\nApply the updated 2017 IDSA/SHEA CDI guidelines and recommendations for C-diff diagnostics to your patient population\nIdentify the role of microbiology laboratory in preventing CDI\n\nPresenter: \n \nErik Richard Dubberke\, M.D.\, MSPH\, FSHEA\, FIDSA  | Associate Professor of Medicine\, Infectious Diseases Division\, Department of Medicine  | Washington University School of Medicine \nTarget Audience: Nurses and Infection Control and Laboratory Professionals \nContinuing Education information: This program has been approved by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) for 1.00 Synergy CERPs Category A\, File Number 22330.\nWhitehat Communications is an approved provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory\nsciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E.

SUMMARY:"The Diagnosis & Monitoring of Sepsis: Lactate & Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:Radiometer and acutecaretesting.org* present…“The Diagnosis & Monitoring of Sepsis: Lactate & Beyond” \nSepsis threatens the lives of over 27 million people each year worldwide. Inappropriate or delayed treatment allows for disease progression to severe sepsis\, septic shock and ultimately to 8 million deaths per year. Recent efforts to reduce mortality have focused on generating definitions of sepsis and related conditions and establishing guidelines for early identification and implementation of goal-directed (individualized) therapy. Despite this\, the incidence of sepsis has increased significantly in the U.S. with hospitalizations and related costs doubling over the last 10 years. \nRapid diagnosis of sepsis is paramount to reduce mortality.
