Abstract
Join us for an insightful webinar on the critical role of molecular diagnostic testing for respiratory viruses during flu season. This session will explore the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis of respiratory viruses such as influenza, COVID-19, and RSV. Multiplex molecular diagnostics offer high sensitivity and specificity, helping with precise identification of the causative virus. This accuracy is crucial for guiding effective patient management and prescribing, potentially improving patient outcomes while supporting antimicrobial stewardship. The webinar will feature two experts who will discuss recent advancements in molecular diagnostic technologies and their impact(s) on clinical workflows. Attendees will gain insights into the practical applications of these tests in both outpatient and inpatient settings. By understanding the benefits and limitations of molecular diagnostic testing, healthcare professionals can make informed decisions and diagnose respiratory infections more efficiently.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Review current diagnostic approaches and best practice recommendations from the CDC/IDSA for respiratory viruses.
  • Understand the practical applications of molecular diagnostics for respiratory viruses in various clinical settings, and how they can help improve lab workflows and patient outcomes. 
  • Realize the benefit(s) of utilizing multiplex molecular tests like the BD MAXTM Respiratory Viral Panel, especially during flu season.
 
 
Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
