Enhancing Patient Care with Point of Care Urinalysis Equipment

The Taber Hospital's Emergency Room and Acute Care areas have recently integrated the Clinitek Statis Analyzer to improve patient diagnostics and streamline healthcare processes. This device not only facilitates routine testing but also enables the early detection of kidney disease and performs pregnancy testing, significantly enhancing the quality of care provided to patients.

This analyzer will reduce the need to call the laboratory for analysis, particularly during evening hours, ensuring swift and efficient diagnostics for patients in these critical care areas. By providing point-of-care urinalysis, the device supports healthcare professionals in delivering timely and accurate treatment plans, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes. Moreover, the equipment works directly with the Connect Care system, which is a part of the recent healthcare technology implementation in our region. This connectivity enables healthcare providers to seamlessly track and record patient data, contributing to a more integrated and efficient healthcare delivery system.

It is noteworthy that this was made possible through the collaborative efforts with Dairy Queen and their Blizzard Treat Day fundraiser that was held in April. The contributions and assistance from our volunteers and participants in Blizzard Treat Day have made this achievement possible.
