title = "Near point-of-care adoption of Cepheid Xpert{\textregistered} Flu/RSV XC testing within an integrated healthcare delivery network",
abstract = "Flu/RSV testing was implemented in out-patient clinic-based physician office laboratories throughout Pennsylvania. On-site testing reduced the collect-to-result time by 70% when compared to testing in a centralized core laboratory; over- or under-treatment for influenza A and B (measured by anti-viral prescription) was reduced by 15% (P < 0.0001). Antimicrobial prescription was not affected by on-site testing.",
