Will point of care testing for respiratory infections lower the transmission rate of infection on paediatric wards?

Will Point of Care (POC) testing for respiratory infections lower the transmission rate of infection on paediatric wards?

Background of the Research Study

Understanding the concept of healthcare, not only have people made way for the creation and the establishment of adopting for strong and constructive outcomes, but that they would then be able to provide for safety measures that would not only add to the development and the security of health measures, providing for healthcare safety and security (Tolonen et al 2007, pp. 390-7).

Respiratory infections over a certain timeframe have gained immense popularity and highlights, coiling within it countries and continents and weakening immune systems of global masses. Both children and adults fall prey to the claws of respiratory infections, calling out for precautionary strategies and remedial actions that would aid individuals into falling sick.

In order to maintain a strong and constructive outcome, it becomes evident that regardless of the changes and the challenges that are being experienced, our paradigm of research is limited to the studies associated with the United Kingdom (Priyadarshi et al, 2009, pp. 391-406). This is due to the purpose of understanding and focused comprehension that we are able to make way for addressing the impact and influence of respiratory infections.

While multiple recovery strategies, tactics and other aspects, even though strategies have been kept intact, the most basic reason the transmission of the respiratory infections spreads is because of the treatment and the inspection that takes place in paediatric wards. Even though much there multiple precautionary measures and preemptive measures employed to reduce the dissemination, these paediatric wards are breeding grounds for respiratory infections to grow and take place (Luna, 2010, pp. 15-20).

Relevance of Question

To assess and deliberate upon the question asked, respiratory infections, as common as they may appear to be, have the capacity and the ability of transmit from one living being to another(Cohen-Bacrie & Halfon, 2013, 43-56). This is extremely important to analyze and comprehend as the degree of transmission is high and that people with other complex diseases and illness could fall prey easily to the claws of these infections.

Through the induction of point-of-care (POC) testing, not only would healthcare institutions be in a position and a condition to produce a form of safeguard or protection on the part of securing the lives of patients that are diagnosed with respiratory infections, but also secure the treatment procedures and the people that have been associated with other systems that make way for progress (WEIGL et al, 2002, pp. 525-33).

Furthermore, with primary symptoms highlight and identification, not only are doctors, physicians and nurses able to tap into the condition of the patients, but are able to cover and provide for tackling the disease during the phase of the primary conception of the disease, which has manifested into the patient (Casanova, 2008, pp. 25-35).

Finally, with the induction of POC testing, results of the infectees could be shared instantaneously, considering ...
