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.
