IVC Diagnostics


Mobile point-of-care medical devices are revolutionising healthcare facilities worldwide, eliminating long wait times for accurate diagnostic results. Our software-supported medical diagnostics offer sustainable solutions to help healthcare providers streamline workflows, increase turnover, and better serve their communities.


With Point of Care Testing (POCT), healthcare professionals can conduct screenings, diagnose illnesses, and initiate treatments in one consultation. This is particularly beneficial in primary healthcare settings for acute conditions with reduced risk of complications. POCT also enables better chronic disease monitoring, improving patient compliance, fewer complications, and hospitalisations. We are committed to making POCT accessible to everyone and promoting its adoption by the medical community and healthcare industry.

Point of Care Tests (POCT)


Healthcare is rapidly evolving all over the world. Using point-of-care devices and integrated solutions is helping address long-standing issues like affordability, waiting times, fee transparency, and convenience in healthcare delivery models.

The diagnostic industry has access to all the necessary technology and capabilities to support healthcare professionals in effectively offering treatments. Diagnostics can provide decision support when used correctly to help choose the best treatment option immediately.


Thanks to technology like point-of-care laboratory analyzers, clinicians can obtain test results in just a few minutes. This can lead to significant improvements in patient outcomes and quality of care.

Recent advancements in technology have made point-of-care devices more accurate and user-friendly. Even advanced equipment like the Finecare - Fluorescence Immunoassay Analyzers can be operated without specialized training.

Point-of-care devices are beneficial for all communities and disease burdens. They have applications in emergency, acute, and chronic care.

 

Benefits of POCT

1. New revenue stream

Expanding the services provided in your practice can generate more income and align your approach with value-based care. Point-of-care (POC) testing is a great way to increase revenue for clinicians, as the first test can already bring in additional income. In many countries, funders such as medical aid recognize and cover the cost of these tests. Patients also benefit from the affordability of POC testing compared to traditional pathology laboratories when it is offered at a practice.

2. Point of care hubs

Developing a point-of-care hub is another option to increase revenue streams. The principle is creating a referral network where specimens are sent to the “hub” for analysis.

The practice of offering this service (acting as a point for analyzing samples) to colleagues in the area can develop this hub into a complete and profitable business unit.

3. Efficiency

Using POCT benefits both healthcare providers and patients by saving time. Providing a diagnosis and determining the appropriate treatment is a significant advantage for the clinician and the patient.

4. Time saving

POCT can seamlessly integrate with existing workflows and processes, ensuring patient results are added to their electronic medical record in real time. This aligns with the global shift towards integrated platforms and digital health information, improving patient outcomes.

With results available within minutes, treatment can be initiated promptly, saving patients time, effort, and money. This positive experience for patients includes receiving results immediately during the same consultation, reducing anxiety, and creating a happy customer. It also results in additional savings, as patients don't have to take time off work or pay for transportation.

 
 

5. Expanded testing capabilities.

By using advanced devices, healthcare providers can now offer tests and analyses previously only available in traditional pathology laboratories. This expansion of affordable pathology services in healthcare facilities encourages more people to visit these facilities instead of public healthcare facilities.

The ability to conduct point-of-care testing allows for quick clinical decision-making and diagnosis, treatment choices, and monitoring of therapy and prognosis, as well as operational decision-making and resource utilization.

6. Simplicity

Specimen collection and the operation or interpretation of rapid tests, handheld devices, or even desktop laboratory analyzers are simple and do not require intensive training.

 

7. Mobile devices

Handheld devices are compact and can help healthcare providers expand their services to communities and patients. This allows essential equipment and analysers to be brought along during home visits, employee wellness days, or consultations at retirement villages. The equipment is lightweight and portable, making it convenient to use.

8. Applying healthcare recourses cost-effectively.

During the initial consultation, we strive to identify the most suitable treatment or further investigation for you. This helps to avoid unnecessary and costly investigations at the beginning of the treatment process.
