الوصف: Abstract Objective Syndromic assessment with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) testing in patients with acute respiratory illness (ARI) allows for simultaneous identification of multiple possible infectious etiologies. Point‐of‐care (POC) syndromic assessment can be conducted in a clinical setting, such as an urgent care center (UCC), without requiring certified laboratories. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether POC syndromic assessment improved patient satisfaction for patients seen at an UCC with ARI; secondary objectives included whether syndromic assessment reduced self‐isolation time, increased diagnostic confidence, and reduced overall antibiotic utilization. Methods We conducted an unblinded multicenter randomized controlled trial on UCC patients with an ARI. Patients were randomized to either SC (defined as standard UCC testing for ARI) or syndromic assessment with POC mPCR. Patients were surveyed for patient satisfaction, self‐isolation plans, diagnostic confidence, and overall antibiotic utilization. Results Among the 360 patients enrolled, those in the syndromic assessment group were more satisfied with the time required to communicate the results (98.4% vs. 42.4%, p
