Systems Engineering and Point-of-Care Testing

Point-of-care testing; systems re-engineering of healthcare provision to reduce errors, and improve outcomes

Up until the late twentieth century, there was a trend in healthcare provision for care away from the home and into a range of increasingly complex facilities including local health centers – at the community level including doctors offices and community hospitals (primary care), to local hospitals providing a limited range of services, e.g. emergency care (secondary care), through to specialis...

Correlation between Standard Clinical Chemistry and Point of Care Testing Analyzers on Hemoglobin A1C Determination

Point-of-Care Testing and Creatinine Measurement.

This paper reviews the current status of point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices that are available for measuring whole blood or serum/plasma creatinine globally and within Australasia. Information on non-analytical specifications and analytical performance is provided using data sourced from recently published literature, external quality assurance programs and evaluative work by the author's uni...

Microfluidics and point-of-care testing.

In many ways, the intrinsic features of microfluidics are a natural fit for a pointof-care (POC) diagnostics device (i.e. a diagnostic test performed near the patient without needing a clinical lab): low consumption of reagents and sample, miniaturization of device, and fast turnaround time for analysis. Thus, it comes as no surprise that much research, since the inception of modern microfluidi...
