This webinar is presented by Steven W. Cotten Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Director of Automated Chemistry and Critical Care Testing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Title: A Critical Evaluation of Critical Value Notification
Overview
This webinar will explore the role that laboratories play in critical value notification to patient care teams. The landscape of resources available to benchmark thresholds for notification will be discussed and considerations for setting critical values. Evaluating glucose critical values and how evolving recommendations for management of hypoglycemia are impacting critical value thresholds will be used as a case study.
Objectives
Upon completion of this continuing education activity, the participant should be able to:
- Identify existing recommendations for critical value thresholds
- Contrast different mechanisms for critical results notification
- Investigate the origin of the latest ADA glycemic definitions and their impact on the lab
Intended audience
This continuing education credit is intended for use by clinical laboratory professionals who are interested in learning more about critical value notifications, including the different mechanisms for critical results notification and existing recommendations for critical value thresholds.
