Peter Koerte, VP Marketing, POC Business Unit, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics introduced the point-of-care (POC) portfolio available for the clinical industry. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics provides POC products and services that enable healthcare providers to render better patient management and help ensure optimized clinical outcomes. Maximizing efficiency, improving clinical workflows, satisfying compliance requirements and reducing costs will all contribute to the delivery of optimal patient care.

Integrated solutions greatly aid in the establishment and maintenance of an effective and efficient POC Ecosystem™. The RAPIDComm® Data Management System has a variety of new features; most significant is the ability to now integrate all of Siemens POC devices. Peter Koerte refers to it as: "the heart of the point-of-care ecosystem.” Connection to multiple central information systems and the ability to manage all of your operators on smart devices similarly offers greater POC efficiency and quality control.

Peter also introduced the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer*, a truly handheld device that tests PT/INR with lab accuracy. The Xprecia Stride analyzer is designed specifically to meet the needs of today’s healthcare professionals and address the key areas of importance in POC testing as primary care, urgent care, and hospitals demand fast, reliable PT/INR testing for oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT).
