HI Tony
To differentiate the results we allocated different test codes to the POCT results on LIMS and EPR. The results are available immediately electronically to the clinicians and are also reviewed and commented on by the microbiologists.
Kind regards

Subject: Flu testing in the non-lab setting
Further to the earlier post today about reporting of outcomes to PHE our microbiology lab has confirmed that results generated through use of our POCT solution will be reported through our LIS system. Outcomes will be reported through our normal laboratory reporting structure.
We are using a lab grade analyser in a non-lab setting with non-lab staff processing samples. SOPs, training and competency, IQC and EQA has full oversight of the microbiology lab and our POCT team.
Are any of you doing a similar thing in terms of entering the results in the LIS. If so how do you differentiate which tests are generated at the point of care and which from the lab? Do you append a comment, automatically or free text to each POCT generated result?
This service is a true hybrid system and not traditional POCT so I'd like to get your take on it.
Regards
Tony
