Hello!
I have 2 questions for you all. First- what type of point of care testing instruments and tests are you all using for stroke patients? I am just wanting to see the different options that you all are using because we may need to go the POC route to improve our turnaround times but I am also very leery with our ED. They haven't always been the most compliant department. :)
2nd question- I need to come up with an iSTAT indicator for my new fiscal year. We do Creatinine testing in Radiology and ACT-k testing in Cath Lab currently. I wondered if you all had any suggestions for me?
Thank you!

For i-STAT indicators, have you considered looking at the cartridge error rate? I've done this in previous positions. I looked for a 2% error rate, but you could determine that by checking what is currently happening, and choose a higher rate that is doable. Cartridge errors can lead you to see who is having difficulty dosing the cartridges, with multiple errors due to short sample, overfill, clots, etc.
