Abstract:
Point-of-care testing (POCT) has developed rapidly in various fields including medical health, customs quarantine, agriculture, graziery, forestry, fire-fighting, environment and food testing. It poses a huge challenge to the traditional inspection mode. Yet POCT still has many problems in terms of technical ability, quality control, regulation and industry-university-research cooperation and so on. Thus it is necessary for the health administrative departments, manufacturers and hospitals to establish consensus, and implement the total quality management system. The establishment of an independent evaluation system and the application of advanced quality control technologies of POCT is also essential given its particularity. This article focuses on the POCT application status and quality management in Shanghai based on the series of quality management measures for the POCT project carried out by the Shanghai Center for Clinical Laboratory, and raises some thoughts and suggestions for the existing problems.
