Table 1: Original POCT Demographics

A few years ago, nearly 500 POCC visitors to the www.pointofcare.net website submitted demographic information on their POCT program - and a brief summary of the results is shown in Table1.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see if those numbers have changed?

 

Since that time, many things in the POCT industry have change - new meters and devices have entered the marketplace, while others are no longer produced; hospitals have acquired other hospitals and vendors have acquired vendors. Given that, we've created a new demographics form

 

In early 2014, we will post the results from the demographics and make them available only to the

people who have submitted information. This information will be posted on a password protected web page and an email will be sent to each contributor and will include the form that will contain a user name and a password to access the demographics page.

Note: This list is for POCCs Only - Not for marketing use - Vendor submissions not accepted.

 

The list will be sorted by POC Group (if you are not a member of a group, choose 'none') for easy navigation and will enable you to see other institutions with similar devices or systems as yours that you can contact, or that can contact you. It's a chance to ask questions or share ideas on choosing a particular POC device, data management system, or ways to improve your programs.

 

Let's see how fast we can get to more than 500 submissions - and more!

Even if you submitted demographics information for our first survey, chances are your POCT program has probably changed, So please submit your data again by simply completing this form today.
