Diagnostica Stago is offering its expertise to laboratorians through two free electronic resources on hemostasis and thrombosis. The Stago-EdVantage website and iHemOStasis app for the AppleiPad both offer ways to increase hemostasis knowledge; understand clinical situations, therapies, and detection methods; and apply practical skills to patient care.
The Stago-EdVantage website offers free continuing education courses on a variety of hemostasis topics, including anticoagulation, hypercoagulability, current screening tests and treatments, and more. The courses are taught by Stago experts as well as independent thought leaders, with clearly defined learning objectives to guide healthcare professionals when selecting courses of interest. Each course is archived as a webcast, and ASCLS P.A.C.E. credits are available upon course completion.
The iHemOStasis app, optimized for the iPad, serves as a hemostasis primer for anyone looking to increase knowledge in the area. Major coagulation mechanisms are animated along with detailed explanations of each phase, including intracellular and extracellular components. Detailed descriptions of the most current assays used to examine hemostasis are provided, along with various therapies, disease state classifications, and decision trees. In addition, three case studies are presented, along with quizzes to test knowledge. Visit the Stago-Edvantage site.
