| Teleclass | LIFECYCLE OF MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGY: COST VERSUS CLINICAL BENEFIT BEFORE BECOMING OBSOLETE |
| Outline: | Objectives: - Understand that all technology undergoes cycles of innovation - Describe evolution of testing from early conventional microbiology tests, through to emergence of high throughput molecular arrays that can target multiple microbial pathogens in single runs - Discuss how novel promising tests can become routinely and widely used, before being superseded by faster or more precise assays; how turnaround time is of critical importance; how choice of test platform now can dictate investment flexibility in the future; and how costs can be deceptive |
