Several strategies are employed to ensure timeliness in toxicological practices:
1. Rapid Diagnostic Tools: The development and use of point-of-care testing and other rapid diagnostic methods enable faster identification of toxic substances.
2. Electronic Health Records (EHR): EHR systems facilitate the quick sharing of patient information among healthcare providers, aiding in faster diagnosis and treatment.
3. Public Awareness and Education: Educating the public about the signs and symptoms of common toxic exposures can lead to quicker medical consultations and interventions.
