Rapid Influenza
Testing Evaluation
[Posted 08/08/2008]
The
Joint Commission and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) are evaluating how rapid tests for influenza
are used in outpatient medical settings by surveying
community health centers, solo and group practice
physician offices, and hospital emergency
departments. To efficiently gather data, an online
collaborative forum (WikiHealthCare) on the subject
of rapid influenza testing has been developed and
launched. Users can share their experiences, post resources, and engage in online
dialogs about influenza testing.
