4 What is Point of Care Testing (POCT)? It is defined as a diagnostic testing at or near the site of patient care or bring the test or immediately to the patient. This increases the likelihood that the patient will receive the results in a timely manner thus reducing the turn around time (TAT). POCT is accomplished through the use of transportable and handheld instruments ( ex: glucometer, istat) and test kits ( pregnancy kits, urine dipstick, fecal & occult blood kit,hiv kits). Other POCT devices are smaller,smarter and cheaper have increased the use of these devices due to cost effectiveness. 3/31/2016 4
5 Tests for POCT: Primary Care / Outpatient Clinics HgbA1c, glucose, HIV, Pregnancy Tests,Urine chemstrip,hemaprompt Emergency Room Troponin, lactate, blood gases, lytes, BNP,Hct, CK, Fecal Occult blood, Hemaprompt Cath Lab- IR ( Interventional Radiology) Activated Clotting Time (ACT-Celite for CVOR) PT-INR Avoximeter ( THb, SO2) ICU, PICU, NICU,Anesthesia/OR Blood gases, glucose, Hct, lytes, ACT (for Anesth,ICU) Labor and Delivery Fern Testing Nitrazine test 3/31/2016 5
6 What is CLIA? In 1988, congress passed the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) - this is to establish the quality standards for all laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test was performed. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment 1988 (CLIA 88) Regulations apply to labs processing human material for medical purposes All labs must be CLIA-registered and certified All labs must comply with basic administrative and operational (technical) requirements 6
7 POCT is categorized as: CLIA88: Sec Non-Waived Testing (high complexity testing) Waived Testing (moderate complexity) Provider Performed Microscopic Procedure (PPMP) 3/31/2016 7
8 Non-Waived Testing : For each individual performing non-waived testing, the organization must maintain evidence of education that meets one of the personnel qualification. The regulations require specific levels of education, experience or both. In general terms, High complexity testing requires an bachelor s degree or higher in a chemical, physical or biological science. Operational steps requires close monitoring or control, and more extensive independent interpretation and judgment are required Non-waived testing must participate in a proficiency testing. 3/31/2016 8
9 Non-Waived Testing (ISTAT1) 3/31/2016 9
10 Non-Waived Testing: 3/31/
11 Waived Testing (1 of 2) Moderate complexity testing requires an Associate's degree or higher in a chemical, physical or biological science. It requires limited scientific and technical knowledge and training to perform accurately. Operational steps are either automatically executed or easily controlled and require limited interpretation and judgment is required. Under moderate complexity CLIA certificates, waived testing may also be performed. It is defined as a simple that there is a little risk of error. Erroneous results are possible and can produce untoward patient outcomes if acted upon. For waived testing, the federal regulations do not specify the education requirements and the organization may establish their own. The organization should maintain evidence that the testing personnel meet the education requirements established by their job description. As a best practice, the suggested minimum is a high school diploma as this is the minimum education required for moderate complexity testing (the next highest complexity level). 3/31/
12 Waived Testing (2 of 2) Laboratories that performs waived testing must meet the following requirements: Enroll in a accreditation program Follow manufacturers test instructions Examples of waived tests: Blood glucose monitoring Urine dipstick Fecal occult blood Hemoglobin A1c Ph determination by ph paper/strip Urine pregnancy 3/31/
13 Recommendations for conducting a Quality Waived testing: Continued monitoring of testing with a focus on personnel education and training for introducing waived testing Good laboratory practices for the three phases of testing 1. Before testing / Pre-Analytic ( test ordering & specimen collection) 2. During Testing/Analytic ( control testing, test performance, result interpretation and recording) 3. After testing/post analytic ( result reporting, documentation,confirmatory testing, and biohazard waste disposal) 3/31/
14 Waived Testing (Nova glucometer) 3/31/
15 Waived Testing (Hemaprompt) 3/31/
16 PPMP (1 of 4) Physician Provider Microscopy Procedure (PPMP) PPMP tests are performed using a microscope during the course of a patient visit on specimens that are not easily transportable. Who qualifies as testing personnel under a PPMP certificate? Only a provider may perform microscopy procedures under a Provider Performed Microscopy Procedure (PPMP) certificate. Providers include physicians, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants. No other individuals may perform microscopy procedures under a PPMP certificate, including laboratory and nursing professionals, even though they may be qualified to perform microscopy procedures under a moderately complex license. Waived tests performed under a PPMP certificate may be performed by a competent individual and are not required to be performed by a provider. 3/31/
17 PPMP ( 2 of 4) PPMP tests includes (42 CFR Sec ) Wetmounts KOH preparations Urinalysis and microscopic (dipstick/non-automated) Fecal leucocytes Nasal eosinophil count Semen analysis Fern testing Pinworm exams Qualitative semen analysis(limited to the presence or absence of sperm and detection of motility) 3/31/
18 PPMP ( 3 of 4) Proficiency testing is not required for laboratories with a Provider Performed Microscopy Procedure certificate. Laboratories may elect to participate in proficiency testing in order to satisfy other standards requirements for competency (as applicable) and semiannual verification of the test method, although other mechanisms that demonstrate compliance would also be acceptable. Procedures are test performed by a provider in his or her own practice during the patients visit on a labile specimen obtained from a patient in his or her own practice. Testing is done by bright-field or phasecontrast microscopy. A PPM site may also perform waived testing. 3/31/
19 PPMP ( 4 0f 4) For Provider Performed Microscopy Procedures (PPMP), annual competency assessment is required for all testing personnel, including physicians. When a physician performs waived testing that does not involve an instrument, there is no Joint Commission requirement for documentation of competency when the test is a logical part of his or her specialty and the organization has specifically privileged the physician for that test. Through the medical staff credentialing process, individual physicians may be privileged for those specific waived tests appropriate to their scope of practice and no further assessment of skills or documentation of competence would be required. At the discretion of the Medical Director of Laboratory Services designated on the laboratory license certificate or organizational policy, more stringent competency requirements may be implemented. 3/31/

22 PPMP 3/31/
23 3/31/
24 Management Responsibility: Each testing site should identify at least one person responsible for testing oversight and decision making. The management staff should demonstrate a commitment to the quality of testing service by complying with applicable regulatory requirements and promoting good laboratory practices. 3/31/
25 Personnel Qualifications,Training & Competencies: 3/31/
26 Personnel Qualifications,Training & Competencies: Personnel: (1 of 3) POCT CLIA Laboratory Director, Clinical Consultant,Technical Consultant, Waived Laboratory Testing Supervisor and Testing Personnel must qualify under California laboratory personnel regulations. Note: Qualifications for certain categories of laboratory personnel is specific to testing location. Examples: a Laboratory Director of any laboratory, including waived laboratories, within an acute care hospital must be a board certified Pathologist. A medical assistant(ma) is authorized to perform waived tests only in a non-hospital setting. A EMT may perform moderate complexity POCT while providing prehospital care but not within the hospital. 3/31/
27 Personnel Qualifications,Training & Competencies: Personnel: ( 2 of 3) Testing Personnel, including physicians, are trained and documented for competency prior to performing patient testing. Frequency of competency assessment is consistent with Joint Commission Waived testing chapter, the College of American Pathologists, CLIA and California regulations as possible. 3/31/
28 Personnel Qualifications,Training & Competencies: Personnel: ( 3 of 3) The Technical Consultant (TC) and Waived Laboratory Supervisors (WLS) are responsible to evaluate and approve competency of site managers and testing personnel. Competent site manager(s)/testing personnel with one year experience in the applicable POC tests may assist the TC and/or WLS to administer competency assessment to testing personnel within his/her department. The competency of physicians and midlevel practitioners who perform nonperform instrument based waived test (fecal occult blood,urine dipstick) may be established through the credentialing process of the hospital s medical staff. 3/31/

44 Recommended Practices Before Testing Preparations before performing the test are critical element in producing quality results. Paying attention to orders, properly identifying and preparing the patient, collecting a good quality specimen and setting up the test system and testing area contribute to a reliable test results. 3/31/
45 Recommended Practices During Testing: (1 of 3) This includes QC testing, test performance, result interpretation and recording. Types of controls Internal or built in controls evaluates whether certain aspects of the test system are working properly. External controls- mimic patient specimens and monitor the testing process, from specimen application to result interpretation, to assure proper test performance. 3/31/
46 Recommended Practices During Testing: (2 of 3) Frequency of control testing at a minimum, external controls should be tested with each new shipment of utilized devices, when testing a new lot number, and by each operator performing testing. Corrective Action If controls do not perform as expected, testing should not be performed or results reported until the problem is identified and corrected. Documentation Documentation and monitoring control testing results provides indication that the test was properly performed. Record of results should be periodically reviewed to detect shifts or changes in performance overtime. 3/31/
47 Recommended Practices Before Testing: (3 of 3) Recording Results Record results according t o your site s policy. Quantitative test results should be recorded using the units of measurement of the system. Qualitative test results should be recorded using interpretive words such as positive or negative instead of symbols like plus (+) or minus (-). If a test is not acceptable or requires repeat testing, note it as unacceptable, take steps to correct the problem and record correct result. Good laboratory practice include recording what happens, whether acceptable or not, and what is done to correct problems encountered during testing. 3/31/
48 Recommended Practices After Testing: Test Report-after completion of the test, results are documented and reported. Verbal reports of test results should be documented and followed by a written report. Results must be recorded in the patient chart/record or flowsheet. Critical /Alert values requires immediate notification to the physician. Procedure must be in place to ensure documentation of the critical values and timely notification of the proper medical personnel. Public Health reporting of results(ex: HIV) Biohazard waste disposal 3/31/
49 Documents and Records (1 of 3) Proper documentation is necessary for monitoring and assessing test performance,identifying and solving problems that could affect patient testing, retrieving and verifying information, and maintaining adequate patient and personnel records. The person responsible for testing oversight and decision-making should review records periodically and it is required to retain documents and records for a specific length of time. 3/31/
50 Documents and Records (2 of 3) Aspects of testing for which records or documentation are recommended include: Test orders Test procedures or work instructions Records of testing materials used, test system and equipment function checks and maintenance. Daily record of temperatures ( refrigerator, freezer, incubator and testing area ) Lot numbers,dates used, and expiration dates systems and reagents Date and time of equipment function checks and any maintenance performed 3/31/
51 Documents and Records (3 of 3) Test results including any confirmatory or supplemental testing QC results and corrective action taken if any if results are unacceptable Date and time of control testing Lot number and expiration date of external control Records of any test failures, troubleshooting or corrective action taken when problems are identified. Personnel training and competency assessment Records of Proficiency testing (PT) or other quality assessment 3/31/
52 Quality Assessment (1 of 2) Good laboratory practices can be expanded to include assessment activities to evaluate and improve the quality of site testing. Internal Assessment It offers flexible, low cost options for evaluating quality such as selfconducted inspections, supervisory review of documented problems that occur in the different phases of the testing process, review of QC documentation, and testing and reporting procedures. Test performance can be assessed, if specimens are suitable by exchanging specimens with another testing facility using thesame testing method and comparing results. Result from these assessment should be documented and evaluated noting any irregularities and actions taken to resolve problems or improve processes and procedures. 3/31/
53 Quality Assessment (2 of 2) External Assessment Voluntary inspections by peers or consultants can offer additional educational opportunities and feedback on current practices along with ideas for quality improvement. It also evaluate the testing practices and documentation systems, and a more narrowly focused assessment of test performance can be accomplished by participating in performance evaluation or subscribing to PT (proficiency test) programs. 3/31/
