POINT OF CARE TESTING{P.O.C.T} BY DR.J.A.A. ONAKOYA  INTRODUCTION DEFINITIONS DIFFERENT NAMES OF P.O.C.T. TYPE OF TESTINGS USE OF P.O.C.T. BENEFITS 0F P.O.C.T. IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING OF P.O.C.T.  DEFINITIONS 1. P.O.C.T 2. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING 3. IN- VIVO TESTS 4. EX- VIVO TESTS 5. ALTERNATE SITE TESTING  DIFFERENT NAMES FOR P.O.C.T 1. ALTERNATE SITE TESTING 2. ANCILLARY TESTING 3. BEDSIDE TESTIHG 4. DECENTRALIZED TESTING 5. DISTRIBUTED TESTING 6. NEAR PATIENT TESTING 7. VALUE- ADDED TESTING 8. WAIVED TESTING  BENEFITS AND NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTES OF P.O.C.T 1. TO THE LABORATORY 2. TO THE HOSPITAL 3. TO THE PATIENT 4. TO TOTAL QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT  POCT: THESE ARE TESTS DONE BY THE BEDSIDE OF THE PATIENT. TESTS DONE OUTSDE THE CENTRAL LABORATORY OF A HOSPITAL. GIVEN DIFFERENT NAMES BY DIFFERENT NAMES OR COMMITTEES INVOLVED IN TOTAL REGULATION OFTHE LABORATORY PROCEDURES. SUCH AS: CAP[COLLEGEOF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS] JCAHO [THE JOINT COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS]  TYPE OF TESTING: IN-VIVO TESTING---TESTING OF FLUIDS IN THE BODY E.G. PULSE OXIMETER,SPHGNOMANOMETER ,ARTER IAL BLOOD GAS ANALYSER. EX- VIVO....TESTING OF FLUIDS TAKEN OUT AND RETURNED TO THE BODY E.G LUNG –HEART MACHINE.  BENEFITS/ NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTES OF POCT: CAN BE USED OR OPERATED BY ANY PERSONNEL OR PATIENT..... HAS GOOD TURNAROUND TIME[TAT]. PRODUCES RAPID ,FASTER RESULTS. CONVENIENT, USUALLY PORTABLE. MINIMAL SAMPLE/SPECIMEN SIZE. WHEN REGULAR OR SERIAL MONITORINGOF THE PATIENTS, CONDITION IS CRITICAL FOR OVERALL OUTCOME OF PATIENTS, CONDITION.....THEY ARE “LIFESAVERS” DEVICES. THEY ARE RAPID, FASTER, “ EFFICIENT” LABORATORY SERVICE TESTING.  NEGATIVE EFFECTS OR ATTRIBUTES : THOUGH FASTER, RAPID SERVICE BUT IS IT ACCURATE ? OR IS FASTER BETTER? DEBATES ARE ON – GOING ON THESE ISSUES OF POCT. 1.
