Point-of-Care and
Lab-based Testing
-
Point-of-Care tests are ones that are offered in the pharmacy and give results in 20 minutes or less. We offer several types of on-site testing such as: strep throat swabs, urinalysis (to screen for UTI/bladder infection), blood glucose testing, blood pressure checks, and more.
-
Some other requests might require bloodwork or further testing at the hospital lab. In these cases, our pharmacist can give you a requisition for the lab and we can then follow up with you directly to discuss the results.
​
In both cases, the pharmacist may be able to prescribe an appropriate therapy for you based on the results of your test. In some cases, a referral to a doctor may still be warranted.
