Additional comments:

• I wish Diane had besides CAP also knowledge of JCAHO regulatory needs

• Use of interesting humorous slides – enjoyed it

• Impressive research on each future instrumentation!

• It is unnecessary to review in detail the list of vendors – boring

• Great handout.  I liked cartoons mixed in w/audio-visual

• Over review POCT-near patient testing vendors

• Limit vendor listing = too much & a bit boring – just present “highlights”

• Your humor helped make the lecture more interesting.  Perhaps the time spent on what the various mfr’s offer could be spent better covering something else

• Very knowledgeable of POCT, but spent excessive time in discussing each and every product marketed by manufacturers – maybe the audience would be more interested to hear highlights of this subject instead of having everything about a manufacturer.
