Problem
Elder care and long-term living facilities require rapid and accurate infectious disease testing to protect vulnerable residents and staff. Traditional testing methods can be slow, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment, potentially increasing the risk of outbreaks and complications. Monitoring and controlling antimicrobial resistance is also a growing concern in these settings.
Solution
Prism Molecular provides RT-PCR based molecular testing services, delivering results typically within 24 hours. They offer testing solutions for infectious disease identification, including respiratory tract, urinary tract, sexual health, and wound panels. Their ABx Advantage gene panel detects major classes of antibiotic resistance, providing data for antibiotic resistance stewardship. The OneChoice report, powered by Arkstone Medical Solutions, converts PCR data into interpretations for physicians to help them make informed treatment choices.
