Impact of Influenza/RSV PCR Point-of-care Testing in the Emergency Medical Service.

The purpose of the study is to compare Emergency Department patients who undergo influenza and RSV PCR testing using an FDA-approved point-of-care device (Cepheid Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV) located in the ED, to patients who undergo influenza and RSV PCR testing at the core laboratory. The principal purpose is to determine if the time spent in the ED is different in the group undergoing POC influenza testing compared to those undergoing laboratory-based influenza testing.
