1 - Getting started 1.1 Point-of-Care testing (POCT) and the data management system Point-of-care testing (POCT) generally refers to medical diagnostic testing within a healthcare facility that is performed in close proximity to the patient. Point-of-care tests usually fall within one of two categories: waived or moderately complex. The healthcare facility must be licensed from the necessary accrediting agencies to perform these POC tests, and any member of the medical staff that performs the tests (operators) must be certified on the testing device. Granting of the license typically requires that the laboratory or the healthcare system administer the appropriate training to operators on the proper use of various POCT methods in use by the healthcare system, and monitor the appropriate use of devices by operators after training. It also requires the monitoring of proper device functioning. Info HQ Manager is a web-based POC data management system, deployed on the organization's LAN or WAN, typically behind the health system's firewall. Info HQ Manager is designed to facilitate regulatory compliance by managing test results collected from POC testing devices, tracking operator training on diagnostic testing devices, and monitoring device performance. Info HQ Manager forwards the test data it collects to external systems (LIS, EMR, LMS, and so forth) and provides tools to correct and resend data to those external systems. Operator and regulatory compliance are easily maintained, and exceptions are easily located and can be addressed using the simple user interface. Figure 1-1: System overview is a high-level illustration of the possible connections with the Info HQ Manager system. It is not necessary that all of these connections be in place with any given installation. A functioning system consists of a minimum of POC testing devices, a POC data management system, and a user accessing the data management system. Figure 1-1: System overview
