We’ve all had the experience of being told that testing will be necessary prior as part of our medical care. It’s often an inconvenient, multi-stage process that makes seeing our PCP and getting our concerns treated even more difficult. Point-of-Care Testing is a significant advance in the delivery of convenient healthcare services. Rather than taking multiple steps and requiring days of waiting before you get your results, POCT gets you results quickly and at the point of care. Patterson Family Pharmacy is dedicated to making medical and pharmaceutical services more convenient. That’s why POCT is available at our location in Patterson, CA, for the local community and surrounding area.
Point-of-Care Testing: Swift and Reliable Results for Better Health Management
Point-of-care testing makes it possible to quickly provide results of medical tests without sacrificing accuracy. Our pharmacy is equipped to improve your health outcomes by quickly providing valuable information that will assist in the monitoring, diagnosing, and screening disease. By reducing the time needed for diagnosis, treatment of existing conditions can start sooner before your health concern becomes more severe. Rapid decision-making fueled by the proper information makes every step of treatment go more smoothly.
Point-Of-Care Services provided by Patterson Family Pharmacy Include:
- Influenza A/B Testing
- Streptococcus A Testing
- RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
- COVID-19
Point-of-Care services can be beneficial for a range of medical care services, including:
- Routine Health Screening: These annual screenings often check for multiple concerns such as high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. POCT can get the results quickly and help speed up the outcome of these screenings.
- Acute Illness Diagnosis: Streptococcus A and Rapid Influenza testing effectively confirms the underlying health concern for your symptoms. This reduces how long it takes to get appropriate treatment and speeds recovery.
- Chronic Disease Management: Conditions like diabetes can be easier to manage with point-of-care testing by providing lab-quality blood glucose testing and immediate feedback.
- Preventative Health Care: Regular testing for diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV can catch these conditions in their earliest stages. This allows treatment to start as early as possible, which leads to better outcomes down the road.
