Communications with lab and POCT users

Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2021
POCT (Point of Care Test) or (Point of Care Testing) has been widely used, as it can provide quick results to be acted upon immediately by the clinician. However, POCT devices do not always have the same accuracy and precision as Lab equipment. Laboratorians need to be much better at communicating what is being done in the "lab" and how that relates to
