Description:
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is taking testing out of the traditional laboratory into the clinical/bedside setting. During this presentation, we will outline how this transition is being managed, through our unique research in the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic at the University of Alberta Hospital. We will outline our novel approach to performance analysis of two HbA1c POCT analyzers and initiation of a quality improvement plan. By combining analytics and a human factors perspective, we were able to suggest a procurement option based on a whole health team approach. By the end of this session, participants should be able to understand how to combine the human factors and analytical approach to implement this into your POCT department.
