Our 2022 Sessions have come to a close
We have completed 8 very successful RUG sessions for 2022. We had a total of 216 RALS users, from 26 states and 130 individual institutions, attend these sessions. We also distributed nearly 600 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Here are a few comments from this year's attendees:

Capturing Manual Tests in RALS! More and more RALS users are asking about entering manual and lateral flow tests into RALS - and you can with our RALS Manual Test Entry (MTE) module. This means more tests done at the point of care can be electronically captured and stored in the RALS database for viewing and reporting, and can also be uploaded to the hospital LIS. Join us as we take a deeper dive into RALS Manual Test Entry, and much, much more. |
