Abstract

Point-of-care testing (POCT) has expanded dramatically in the past 20 years with volume growth of 12% to 15% annually. What have we learned? Three features of POCT essential for a successful POCT program are: 1) a well-defined POCT organization, 2) robust connectivity, and 3) still more information regarding the relationship of POCT to clinical outcomes. The advances and limitations for each of these aspects are discussed in an up-to-date review of the POCT arena.
