Abstract

Introduction: Testing at the point of care (we also refer to the 'point of need'), with rapid, actionable results reported to the patient and provider within hours can impact the individual as well as public health. Faster testing is good for patients and public health outcomes during 'peace time' (outside of the pandemic setting).

Areas covered: Testing at the point of need was important during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet testing capacity demands, providing actionable results, and for providing testing within communities to increase access for all populations. Resources were acquired and built up dramatically during the pandemic as part of the response. With the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency and transition back to 'peace time' some testing sites have successfully shifted to using this capacity for testing for other critical needs, like sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, and response to other seasonal diseases and for outbreak response.

Expert opinion: The increased testing capacity added to handle unprecedented testing volume during the COVID-19 pandemic can be repurposed for other critical infectious diseases during 'peace time' (post-COVID-19 pandemic). This maintains testing capacity for the next pandemic.

在后COVID-19时代保持护理点检测能力和大流行准备。
引言:在护理点(我们也指“需求点”)进行检测,在数小时内向患者和提供者报告快速、可操作的结果,可以影响个人和公众健康。在“和平时期”(疫情环境之外),更快的检测有利于患者和公共卫生结果。涵盖的领域:在新冠肺炎大流行期间,在需要的时候进行检测对于满足检测能力需求、提供可操作的结果以及在社区内提供检测以增加所有人群的机会至关重要。作为应对措施的一部分,在疫情期间获得并大量积累了资源。随着新冠肺炎公共卫生紧急状态的结束和向“和平时期”的过渡,一些检测点已成功地将这种能力用于检测其他关键需求,如性传播感染(STI)检测,以及应对其他季节性疾病和疫情应对。专家意见:在新冠肺炎大流行期间,为应对前所未有的检测量而增加的检测能力可以在“和平时期”(新冠肺炎大流行后)用于其他关键传染病。这为下一次疫情保持了检测能力。

期刊介绍: Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics (ISSN 1473-7159) publishes expert reviews of the latest advancements in the field of molecular diagnostics including the detection and monitoring of the molecular causes of disease that are being translated into groundbreaking diagnostic and prognostic technologies to be used in the clinical diagnostic setting. Each issue of Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics contains leading reviews on current and emerging topics relating to molecular diagnostics, subject to a rigorous peer review process; editorials discussing contentious issues in the field; diagnostic profiles featuring independent, expert evaluations of diagnostic tests; meeting reports of recent molecular diagnostics conferences and key paper evaluations featuring assessments of significant, recently published articles from specialists in molecular diagnostic therapy. Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics provides the forum for reporting the critical advances being made in this ever-expanding field, as well as the major challenges ahead in their clinical implementation. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats: invaluable to a time-constrained community.
