Streamlining Urinalysis with Artificial Intelligence
0.25 Credit Hour / Veterinarians & Veterinary Technicians
Overview:
A urinalysis is an essential component of the minimum database, but it is often not performed for numerous reasons. It is important to understand the barriers to urinalyses being performed in order to propose productive solutions that will ensure best medicine for our patients. In addition, there may be a lack of standardization within urine sediment examinations leading to variability in results. This podcast will highlight current concerns around urine sediment analysis and discuss upcoming solutions to workflow efficiency and result consistency.
