Dear all,

 

We have a private provider of NHS Health Checks in the community who is sending POCT results (HbA1c, chol, HDL, chol/HDL) to GPs electronically using lab read codes.

The GPs cannot differentiate between the POCT results and the lab results.

Anyone else come across this problem and found a solution?

Anyone aware of read codes for POCT results?

 

best wishes
Anne
