Today’s Point-Of-Care Testing Programs Require Teamwork

POCT is gaining popularity in scenarios where rapid turnaround time outweighs testing limitations. As POCT programs grow, effective oversight is best achieved by understanding end users’ perspectives and culturing a spirit of teamwork.

UPDATED: How COVID-19 Spotlights the Value of Point-Of-Care Testing (POCT)

Rapid POCT is being used to help address the COVID-19 testing backlog and speed turnaround times. Although the lesser sensitivity and specificity of POCT is acknowledged as an issue, its rapid turnaround time is a worthwhile trade-off in patient scenarios where speed is of the essence. Laboratory professionals are instrumental in ensuring the proper implementation and performance of POCT.
