I feel this is a bit "closing the stable door after
the horse has bolted". POCT has been expanding at an
increasing rate for the past 20yrs or so. The
discussion regarding "what is worth  doing" is
supposed to be one of the first steps towards
accepting responsibility for POCT. I think the labs
have to prove, consistently i.e. "no bad days" they
can deliver suitable turnaround times 24hrs a day, 7
days a week. There are hospitals that already have
"mini labs" in ICU's, theatres and A&E. Try telling
them to convince their users that sending samples to
the lab is best. Most labs don't really have much of a
choice in the matter. As you know, one of the main
reasons for the expansion of POCT, is the Consultant
saying "every good ICU or Casualty has one".
The lab. then has 2 choices, ignore it and let the
Unit that has POCT look after themselves or take part
in the discussion of how to ensure they have the best
equipment and training for the job.
