Beckman Coulter Diagnostics invites you to their event
About this event
Lab. Results. Matter. When 70% of all medical decisions are driven by lab test results,¹ it is mission critical to accurately communicate those lab results to the doctors. It can literally be a matter of life or death.
With labs understaffed today by up to 25 percent,² there can be a disconnect in how lab results get reported. This creates a greater likelihood for diagnostic errors, which account for up to 80,000 patient deaths annually.³ Fast, efficient, accurate lab testing equipment can make a vital difference in renal patient outcomes.
• Why urine sediment is the perfect biomarker detective for diagnosis
• How to visually identify urine sediments and related medical implications
• How automation creates a reduction in sample processing time and 90%+ particle identification accuracy⁴, which can impact your lab…and your patients’ care
