POCT will provide efficient results for increased utilization of these results, leading to possible change in care of the patient. POCT is performed by a physician, medical technologist, nurse, licensed practical nurse, or other designated
2 Point of Care Testing Page 2 of 8 professionals as approved by GASHA. This testing is performed outside the central laboratory and in close proximity to the patient care area. POCT does not replace the central laboratory but should be seen as an extension of the services provided by the laboratory. POCT is a multi-department service. Cooperation between departments is essential to develop and maintain a high quality service. PURPOSE To ensure that when POCT devices are introduced to a department, they are managed and maintained in a safe condition. To minimize the risk to patients, staff and GASHA. POCT is performed in accordance with the quality standard requirements of the International Standards ISO Point of Care Testing-Requirements for Quality and Competence, CSA Medical Laboratories Particular requirements for quality and competence and Accreditation Canada Point of Care Testing Standard POCT equipment is standardized throughout GASHA. Test results are accurate, reliable and traceable. Note regarding Self Testing Hospital Accreditation does not cover home testing. All POC testing in the hospital is to be performed using GASHA /POCT Operator approved devices. It is not the laboratory s responsibility to operate or maintain patients POCT devices. If POCT is conducted outside the quality framework (example in the circumstances of a self-testing person), it is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that the quality of testing is sufficient for their medical or health purpose. PROCEDURE Roles and Responsibilities POCT Quality Team A multi-disciplinary team comprising medical laboratory technologists, medical director of laboratories, nursing and materials management.
