Hardware and software implementation of POCT1-A for integration of point of care testing in research.

ABSTRACT: Point of care testing (POCT) is increasingly utilized in clinical medicine. Small, portable testing devices can now deliver reliable and accurate diagnostic results during a patient encounter. With these increases in POCT, the issue of data and results management quickly emerges. Results need to be cataloged accurately and efficiently while the providers/support staff are simultaneously managing patient encounters. The integration of electronic medical records (EMR) as data repositories requires that point of care testing data imports automatically into the EMR. POCT1-A was developed as a standard communication language for POCT device manufacturers to streamline automatic data import integration. While all modern POCT devices are built with this connectivity, the systems that provide the
