    This document discusses point-of-care testing (POCT) and proficiency testing (PT). POCT refers to medical testing done near the patient rather than sending samples to a lab. It has benefits like faster treatment and reduced costs. PT involves labs testing the same samples and comparing results to ensure quality and accuracy between analysts and labs. PT is important for compliance with standards like ISO/IEC 17025 and provides benefits like improving staff skills and detecting any issues. Both POCT and PT aim to enhance patient care through more efficient and higher quality testing.

    POCT AND PT

    POINT-OF-CARE TESTING AND PROFICIENCY TESTING


    Presented by Group 6 of BSMT III-B
    POCT
    Point-of-care testing

    aka near-patient testing, alternate-site
    testing (AST) or patient-focused testing.
    Decentralization of Laboratory Testing
    refers to the analytical patient testing
    activities performed outside the physical
    facilities of a clinical laboratory
    Brings laboratory testing to the site of patient
    rather than obtaining a specimen and
    sending it to the laboratory
    POC is recognized by:

    JCAHO
    CAP
    CLIA88
    Technology Evolution
    Microcomputer chips and sensors

    Instrumentation
    - Portable chemistry analyzers
    - Glucose meters
    - Blood gas analyzers
    - Hgb meters
    - Coagulation testing
    Instrumentation

    CRITERIA CHARACTERISTIC
    Cost
    Accuracy
    Ease of maintenance
    Ability to self-calibrate
    QC function
    Reporting capabilities
    Safety

    Durable
    Simple to use
    Cost-effective
    Capable of rapid throughput
    (TAT)
    Team Building
    Non-laboratory personnel
    (nurses, surgery technician, therapists, others)
    Properly trained
    Laboratory has critical role
    Qualification of POC personnel are set by
    federal, state, and local regulations.
    Top administrator
    - Responsible for setting additional
    requirements, as long as the federal CLIA 88
    regulations are also being followed.
    EVERYBODY is required to provide quality
    service in a cost-effective manner

    And the laboratory has the leading role

    POCT Checklist
    Needs assessment
    Select method or instrument
    Commitment
    Identify patient type to be tested
    Identify instrument users
    Research and develop test procedure
    Establish QC/QA procedures
    Develop guidelines for staff training
    Risk management protocols
    Monitor and feedback
    Make changes and improvements
    Benefits of POCT
    STAT ( survival rate)
    Rapid diagnosis
    Prompt medical attention
    More efficient use of resources
    Less hospital expenses
    Less trauma and more convenient to patients
    More collaboration of clinicians with the
    laboratory.
    Decreased pre-analytical errors
    Cross-training
    Cost-effective

    PT
    Proficiency testing
    - Aka comparative testing
    - ISO/IEC 17025
    - involves a group of laboratories or
    analysts performing the same analyses on
    the same samples and comparing results
    ISO/IEC 17025
    The philosophy behind the quality assurance
    section of ISO/IEC 17025 is to firstly
    ensure that a single analyst within a
    laboratory is able to consistently reproduce
    the same result on the same sample.
    the result produced by this analyst should
    reflect the result that would have come from
    any other analyst in the laboratory.
    any results from the laboratory as a whole
    should reflect the results that are agreed
    upon by many other laboratories.

    Benefits of PT to Company Group
    Leaders
    the company as a whole will meet the
    requirements of ISO 17025 in the area of
    proficiency testing
    assurance of the good performance and
    capabilities of analytical staff.
    The company will have information that can
    assist in future planning for equipment upgrades
    and staff training.
    the company has a valuable opportunity to
    demonstrate its commitment to laboratory staff
    as an integral part in the production of quality
    products and services.

    Benefits of PT to Lab Staffs
    laboratory staff can gain confidence in their
    abilities, and knowledge of their capabilities.
    laboratory staff will gain satisfaction in the
    knowledge that they have improved or
    maintained a level of competence comparable
    with their colleagues.
    They can detect any difficulties they may have
    with analyses and to identify training strategies.
    Overall, laboratory staff will have the knowledge
    that they are playing a valuable part amongst the
    company.
