Abstract

The practical challenges of point-of-care testing (POCT) include analytical performance and quality compared with testing performed in a central laboratory and higher cost per test compared with laboratory-based tests. These challenges can be addressed with new test technology, consensus, and practice guidelines for the use of POCT, instituting a quality management system and data connectivity in the POCT setting, and studies that demonstrate evidence of clinical and economic value of POCT.
