i-STAT

Testing With The i-STAT System Facilitates Real-Time Decisions To Optimize Patient Care and Economic Outcomes.

The i-STAT® System offers a broad menu of tests related to disease state management and clinical practice guidelines. Using just two or three drops of blood, this with-patient diagnostic system provides time-sensitive results in just minutes.

The i-STAT System complements the clinical laboratory’s efforts by providing lab-quality results for the most commonly used tests while improving efficiency throughout the continuum of care.

CRITICAL CARE

Critical care departments include a wide range of specialty areas that administer care to many of the hospital’s most critically ill patients. With ICU costs constituting a large portion of total hospital costs, (accounting for 8%-30% of total hospital budget)1, and a patient in bed in an ICU costing the hospital as much as 3 times more than the cost of a bed in a non-icu,2 hospital administrators are challenged daily to help reduce costs. The i-STAT System offers solutions to help achieve these goals.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

ED overcrowding puts stress on caregivers and is a major patient safety concern associated with poor patient outcomes.3 Increased ED volume can mean patients face long periods of waiting4 which can be a key obstacle to timely patient treatment and disposition. Having accurate results sooner can accelerate triage and treatment decisions that can help EDs overcome these challenges.

LABORATORY

Bedside testing can be a valuable resource that can help improve efficiencies and maintain quality while relieving pressure on the lab. By reducing the number of test requests and call-back procedures, lab staff is freed from routine testing and can focus on more complex, time-consuming tests and high-volume, reference-lab testing. Integrating a POC testing system into lab processes can promote patient-centric care, increase lab efficiency, and help reduce costs.
