To address this problem, the most recent trend is to move the testing closer to the patient - the point of care. Unfortunately, most point-of-care devices require manual blood removal and handling. They also place an additional burden on hospitals’ nursing staffs by shifting the labor of operating the analyzer from the laboratory technician to the nurse. continue
