Abstract: The prevention and control of health-associated infections are essential for safeguarding patients and im-proving medical quality during the process of medical service.Real-time and effective prevention and control meas-ures can not only remarkably reduce the risk of infections among the patients and health care workers but also are the essential conditions for high-quality medical service.As a convenient,rapid and highly efficient onsite diagnos-tic tool,point-of-care testing(POCT)can rapidly identify the source of infection and start precise control inter-ventions at the spot of infection,which may remarkably reduce the incidence of health-associated infection.In ad-dition,the real-time prevention and control strategies for infections can provide guidance for appropriate treatment of infections,reduce the emergence and transmission of drug-resistant strains,improve the prognosis of patients and further cut the overall medical cost.
