Best Practice Guide: Help Identify and Mitigate Potential Variables in Point-of-care Testing

Point of care testing (POCT) provides many benefits across the continuum of patient care, but successful implementation of POCT, like all diagnostic testing, requires that facilities understand and control test variables that have the potential to affect the accuracy of patient results.

• Pre-analytical: all processes performed prior to testing a specimen
• Analytical:  all processes performed during the testing of a specimen
• Post-analytical: all processes performed after test analysis
