Abstract

Abstract Point-of-care testing (POCT) in our tertiary care hospital is embedded in the daily clinical processes. In 2005, the central laboratory was tasked with POCT oversight to align compliance to hospital accreditation standards. With 10 years that has since ensued, the hospital signalled a fresh relook at the agenda to ensure needs in the next lap of the hospital's reorganization are met. A multidisciplinary POCT committee was formed, and it implemented an executive framework and updated processes for current and new point-of-care (POC) tests/devices. A central repository of standardized operating procedures and quality control and training documents was put in place, and in-house quality assurance tests for POC glucose and blood gases organized by the hospital's central laboratory were scheduled to be replaced with subscription to external quality assurance programs. The revised POCT policy was shared with all stakeholders, the physicians and nurses, to facilitate a smooth transition. A shared vision to further enhance governance and institutionalize POC activities remains a key priority.
新加坡一家急性三级医院的即时护理测试:实施10年后的未来规划
摘要:在我国三级医院,即时检测(POCT)已融入到日常临床流程中。2005年,中央实验室受命监督POCT,使其符合医院认证标准。在随后的10年里,医院发出了重新审视议程的信号,以确保满足医院下一阶段重组的需求。成立了一个多学科POCT委员会,并为当前和新的pocc测试/设备实施了执行框架和更新流程。建立了标准化作业程序和质量控制及培训文件的中央储存库,并计划由医院中心实验室组织的POC血糖和血气的内部质量保证测试替换为订阅外部质量保证方案。修订后的POCT政策与所有利益相关者(医生和护士)共享,以促进顺利过渡。进一步加强治理和使POC活动制度化的共同愿景仍然是一个关键的优先事项。
