Lab Informatics (Hybrid) Job, Illinois
NOTE - THIS IS NOT LIS. Our informatics department is totally separate (and way better and smarter too)
POCC's make GREAT informatics folks because they already typically understand the connection of middleware to the system and instruments (and that different instruments have different ways of "talking"). Ready to slip away from the POC world (or work ancillary to it) and join a growing and developing team of Lab Informatics Analysts (not information systems/LIS!!!!)?...

Ionized Calcium
Is there a POC instrument that only performs Ionized Calcium? We have a unit inquiring about Ionized Calcium as a POC test and I wasn't sure what other facilities used for this (as a single test only, no other analytes). Currently our respiratory department runs ionized calciums on the GEM 5000 instruments.
