Article Synopsis
- This guideline outlines the framework for point-of-care testing (POCT), which involves performing analytical tests outside of traditional lab settings, primarily by non-laboratory healthcare personnel.
- Responsibilities for POCT services lie with the head of the haematology laboratory or a designated point-of-care coordinator, emphasizing the importance of quality assurance and training.
- Devices used for POCT must have passed independent evaluations and provide results that are comparable to laboratory results, with an established quality control system and ongoing training for those using the equipment.
