Point of care (POCT) testing

Point of care (POCT) testing is a form of medical testing which is carried out at the point of care, usually by a healthcare worker, to provide immediate patient results. Common POCT tests include CRP (C-reactive protein) to detect inflammation, D-dimer to test for blood clots, HbA1c to measure blood sugar levels, and PCT (Procalcitonin) to measure infection severity.
