With this new software solution, CardioChek PA point-of-care instrument users will be able to transmit cholesterol and other test results directly from the instrument to a personal computer, the company said.
Robert Huffstodt, president and CEO of Polymer Technology Systems, said: “Errors in healthcare are a major issue in terms of patient safety and quality assurance. Transcription errors are a primary source of the problem. In the past, healthcare testers and screeners had to transcribe results from the CardioChek PA point-of-care instrument to a paper system and/or a computer database system.
“Now, CardioChek Link can assist our healthcare professional customers in this area by minimizing the potential of transcription errors. This will enhance the quality systems and quality assurance for our CardioChek PA point-of-care instrument users.”
