POCT: Operator training: Glucose certification
Questions are devided into 3 categories:
Essential, Important, Useful to know
Example category 3 (essential)
“You see the message Quality control is necessary …”
1. You ignore this message
2. You can do more than 1 patient measurement
3. You first perform a correct QC before you do a patient measurement
4. You can do 1 “CITO” (urgent) -measurement

POC Experiences
• PRE ANALYTICAL PHASE: Start of a good measurement
• When nurses are observed: they follow the rules
Still, we detect of user errors ( > 1/week)
• BAD - UGLY
Improve processes GOOD
E.g. * Frustration, misunderstanding Visiting ward
* CO-oximetrie problemsMore deproteinising
