When it comes to Point-of-Care
Testing, there's one thing you can always count on...and
that's change. And that change holds true for occult
blood testing, compliance education and connectivity for
POCT. There are more vendors, more choices, and often
times, more confusion around who does what and how.
At the June 16 meeting of the Virginia POC Coordinators
at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, we will
do our best to clear up some of the confusion by
offering insightful talks followed by roundtable
discussions on these key areas.

New Developments in Occult Blood Testing
The main use for
the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or the fecal
immunochemical test (FIT) is as a screen for
early colon cancer. Most cases of colon cancer
begin with the development of benign intestinal
polyps. |
