What is Point of Care Testing?

What is Point of Care Testing?

By definition Point of Care Testing means any test performed at the site of patient care.


These are tests performed within the physician's office, urgent care center, emergency department, or retail pharmacy that give almost immediate results for fast and accurate diagnosis or chronic care management.


Point of care test can usually be performed by anyone with minimal training and is a growing market with new tests becoming available almost daily.

 "The American Academy of Family Physicians believes point of care testing performed in physician offices offer timely diagnostics that can improve patient-centered care. Point of care tests should be accurate, reliable, and readily available for family physicians to provide their patients.


Family physicians should have access to accurate and reliable point-of-care testing to expand patient access and to improve management of acute and chronic medical conditions.  This may also decrease costs due to fewer referrals for specialty care and to emergency departments. (April 2020 BOD) (2020 COD)"

Why Do You Need a Point of Care Testing Consultant?

Although point of care testing is usually very simple and easy to perform and can be performed by non-laboratory trained professionals, not all tests qualify for use at the point of care. This determination is made by the FDA.


Clinical laboratory testing (including point of care testing) is also regulated under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment Act of 1988 (CLIA '88) and all subsequent amendments to the original act. CLIA defines how clinical laboratory testing is performed, by who, and what guidelines may be required, all to ensure quality and accurate test results. CLIA is regulated by CMS.


A Clinical Laboratory Consultant can easily guide you through the test selection process, staff training and competency and ensure you are not only meeting compliance requirements but produce the quality results you are looking for to improve your patients' care.
