Hi Katy Our results go into EPR for glucose and blood gases (including electrolytes) the test code we use for glucose is BMGLU as most ward staff still call glucoses BM's we also have sets set up for blood gases that have the location identified as well e.g.GASED, GASITU. This way they aren't displayed directly alongside laboratory results.

I have always considered it essential to have results displayed in a way that shows they are POCT results, and not directly alongside laboratory results.. for example not displayed as: All results Sodium Sodium (POCT) Potassium Potassium (POCT) But displayed as: Laboratory results Sodium Potassium POCT results Sodium (BGA) Potassium (BGA) On discussion with one of the IT companies involved - they were keenist on the top display and failed to see the reason why to separate out. Just out of curiousity how have people displayed results from POCT devices on the EPR? What headers or test names did you use to differentiate? Did you or how did you record the operator ID on the EPR? thanks Katy Mrs Katy Heaney MSc DipRCPath POCT Manager, Principal Biochemist Chemical Pathology Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust Tel: 0208 216 4049 ****************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
