Why Speed Matters in Testing

In many healthcare settings, patients face long waits for accurate diagnostic results — sometimes hours to days. Delays leave caregivers without answers and patients without treatment. Every minute lost impacts care. At Mitchell’s, our point-of-care testing delivers results fast so care can start immediately.

What Is Point-of-Care Testing?

Point-of-care testing means conducting diagnostic tests right in the pharmacy, outside of a traditional lab. These tests give rapid, reliable results to quickly identify or manage conditions — from chronic diseases to acute infections — improving access, counseling, and outcomes.

Enhancing Patient Care with Rapid Results

Rapid test results enable immediate clinical decisions, reducing unnecessary treatments and hospital visits. By providing timely and accurate data, point-of-care testing enhances patient satisfaction and supports better health outcomes.

🩺 Comprehensive Testing Services at Mitchell’s

🦠 Acute Infectious Testing

  • Influenza: Causes 12,000–50,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Rapid testing for influenza A and B allows timely antiviral treatment within the critical 48-hour window.
  • Strep A: Only 10–15% of adults with sore throat test positive, yet up to 75% receive antibiotics unnecessarily. Testing helps reduce antibiotic resistance by distinguishing viral vs bacterial infections.
  • COVID Rapid Antigen: Useful for rapid screening in high-risk settings to quickly identify infections and prevent spread.
  • COVID Antibody: Detects presence of antibodies from prior COVID-19 infection or related coronaviruses.

❤️ Chronic Disease Screening

  • Blood Pressure: Recommended annually for adults 40+, or at increased risk due to high-normal levels, obesity, or ethnicity.
  • Oxygen Saturation / Pulse Oximeter: Noninvasive test to measure oxygen levels in the blood, critical for detecting respiratory issues.
  • Lipids: Cholesterol screening to identify patients who may benefit from statin therapy; important as 8% of Americans have undiagnosed dyslipidemia.

📊 Chronic Disease Monitoring

  • A1c: Monitoring helps guide counseling and treatment to maintain blood sugar control in diabetes patients.
  • INR: Monitoring anticoagulation therapy reduces risks of bleeding and clotting.
  • Blood Glucose: Screens blood sugar levels to detect prediabetes or diabetes; normal fasting levels are 70–99 mg/dL.
