THE Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is seeking feedback on the draft Point of Care Testing (POCT) Standard, with feedback to close on 12 Dec 2025.
Developed following extensive consultation with key stakeholders, the standard aims to support health and aged care service providers that deliver POCT by enhancing patient safety, ensuring quality assurance, promoting consistent practices across care settings, and maintaining a relevant framework as new technologies emerge.
The standards describe the key quality elements to implement when providing POCT, and will protect patients from harm and contribute to the overall quality of care delivered by service providers where POCT occurs.
