As POC testing grows, so do risk of errors
Today testing of patients at the point of care (POC) accounts for 25% of all testing, and these portable assays are increasing their penetration into medical practice at rapid rate of 12% each year.
Yet along with the growth comes an increasing risk of errors that adversely affect quality of clinical decision-making and patient safety.

Clinical laboratory scientists, the medical technologists of the 21st century, are not only enjoying a rapidly expanding role in clinical work but are also increasingly undertaking non-clinical duties such as consultation, quality assurance,laboratory management, professional advocacy and education.
