ABSTRACT

Point of care testing (POCT) is a laboratory-medicine discipline that is evolving rapidly in analytical scope and clinical application.Medical-laboratory tests can be performed at the point of care,shortening the time caused by sample transportation and preparation.At present,POCT contains many items,ranging from blood-glucose measurement to coagulation assays.But,errors in results in POCT practical applications are usually caused by personnel and methodology.Management of POCT detection within the hospital should be strengthened to ensure the quality of POCT in order to provide better services for patients.
