Hi
We currently only have blood gas analyser generated results in the EPR (iSoft Clinical Manager). When the results are received by iCM a new entry is created in the EPR with the results clearly listed as being obtained from the blood gas analyser at the point of care. These results are not viewed alongside laboratory results although staff may tab through those results by leaving the POCT results.
All POCT tests are in the same units of measurement as the laboratory to avoid any confusion or mistakes. Comparability studies have also been performed to assess whether the results generated at the point of care are of sufficient accuracy and precision for their purpose.
Regards
Tony
