The American Academy of Microbiology convened a colloquium in October 2016 to explore the impact of near-patient and POC tests on patient outcomes, healthcare delivery models, public health, and healthcare costs. This report reviews characteristics and applications of near-patient and POC tests for infectious diseases, provides an overview of considerations pertaining to their implementation, oversight, and evaluation, and provides recommendations. As near-patient and POC testing is increasingly implemented in new settings and by non-laboratorians, clinical microbiology laboratory expertise is needed to ensure proper oversight. Utilization of trained personnel and evaluation of tests will ensure that the best-quality tests are ordered and interpreted correctly to benefit patient care.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asm.org\/index.php\/colloquium-reports\/item\/6421-changing-diagnostic-paradigms-for-microbiology?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=diagnostics\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view this report<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asm.org\" target=\"_blank\">ASM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Near-patient and point-of-care (POC) testing for infectious disease diagnostics is rapidly evolving.
