SIRAS, which was developed by the CDC and The Joint Commission, provides guidance to help clinicians appropriately use rapid influenza diagnostic tests in the diagnosis and treatment of influenza in the ambulatory setting. RIDTs, if correctly interpreted, provide quick results and can play a key role in guiding clinical decisions in the ambulatory setting. The module contains videos that demonstrate proper techniques for collecting respiratory specimens, as well as a review of information pertinent to performing point of care testing in the ambulatory setting.
SIRAS provides 2.0 hours of CE credits (ACCME, ANCC) issued by Joint Commission Resources, a not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission.
