Trabattoni E, et al. - Here, researchers performed an evaluation of the impact of implementing rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) with the Alere i Influenza A & B in an emergency department (ED) during an influenza epidemic. In ED, the Alere i Influenza A & B POCT implementation resulted in the reduction in the length of stay, the hospitalization rates, and the number of additional diagnostic tests compared with standard of care testing.
