The questionnaires assessed the implementation principles (determination of healthcare need, presence of POC Organizing and implementation committee, POC testing policy/ accountability protocols, direct involvement of Health care Professionals (HCPs) and the training and certification of operators), the management principles (establishment of quality assurance and audit policies, establishment of maintenance and inventory control policies, establishment of documentary protocols) and the maintenance principles (accreditation and/or regulation of POC testing systems/devices and the central laboratory's involvement in effecting all the principles).
