1 The good, the bad, the ugly A month in the life of a Point Of Care Coordinator Stefanie Van Heule Ghent University Hospital 23/10/2014
2 Ghent University Hospital ± 3000 patients / day ± total admissions (2013) ± consultations (2013) 6000 employees 45 wards + 16 day clinics + surgery rooms + recovery rooms Introduction
3 Department of Laboratory Medicine = Sample analysis + Phlebotomy + Distribution of the samples + Point of Care Testing Average per workday ± lab orders ± bed side samples Introduction
4 POCT = Medical testing at or near the site of patient care 4 Lab technicians Special Chemistry 2 Fulltime POC-Coordinators 1 POC Manager + 1 Clinical biologist Tim Prof. J. Delanghe Elke Dorine Heleen Karen Stefanie Barbara

6 Accuchek Inform II (Roche) What: Measurement of glucose in whole blood, near the patient with only one drop of blood Important * Scanning operator ID, patient ID * Quality controls : Low range (30 60 mg/dl) High range ( mg/dl) Users: 1x / 24h REQUIRED 1 STAT Importance QC E-learning + Visiting ward Introduction
7 Rapidlab 1265 / 1245 (Siemens) Rapidpoint 400, 405, 500 (Siemens) What? Measurement in whole blood of * ph * Blood gases: po 2, pco 2 * Electrolytes: Na +, K +, Ca 2+, Cl - (only RL1265, RP ) * Total haemoglobin & CO-oximetrie * Metabolites : glucose, lactate (only RL1265, RP500 ) Use: Nurses, some physicians in the ward Super users: can replace cartridge, perform QC & calibration Selected super users

17 POCT: troubleshooting Accuchek Inform II : * E.g. badges, disfunctional, software block, data transmission error, battery error, strip error * Log book * 2014: * Spare instruments were 18 times used * 17 were phased out Problems Emphasize in e-learning POCT - Troubleshooting
18 POCT: troubleshooting Blood gases: Clot, Failed QC & calibration, electrode problems, cartridge problems, CO-oximetrie, Log book Interventions: 2-5/week Problems Maintenance Emphasize pre-analytical phase in e-learning + visiting ward POCT - Troubleshooting
19 1 month in the life of a POC Coordinator Management of internal & external QC 25 % 35 % Maintenance Management of reagents Lot validation 10 % 10 % (Re)Training operators 15 % Troubleshooting
20 3) POCT: Operator training: Glucose Glucose: 1. E-Learning 2. Theoretical test 3. Practical test: ~ Number of QC, patient With POCT coordinator 4. Visiting ward 1x / year Unclear how to get a certification Misunderstandings, frustrations Flowchart Visiting ward 1x / year
21 EXAMPLE E-LEARNING GLUCOSE
22 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 POCT Training operators
23 POCT: Operator training: Glucose certification 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 POCT Training operators
24 POCT: Operator training: Glucose certification Example category 2 (important) What is the influence of squeezing the finger of the patient to get blood? 1. The concentration of glucose is higher because you add interstitial fluid 2. The concentration of glucose is lower because you add interstitial fluid POCT Training operators
25 POCT: Operator training: Glucose certification Example category 2 (important) What is the influence of squeezing the finger of the patient to get blood? 1. The concentration of glucose is higher because you add interstitial fluid 2. The concentration of glucose is lower because you add interstitial fluid POCT Training operators
26 POCT: Glucose e-learning & certification Home developed E-learning: * Tailored according to experience * Developed for nurses Commercial E-learning: * General, rigid * Technical, not targeted for nurses Certification expiry: Warning by EPR Passport authentification (no / individual) Scanning badge as operator ID Automatic synchronisation for badgenumber (high turn-over) Integrated tools for handling recertification data Certification expiry: Warning by No integration for authentification No automatic link with hospital ID No account with QC & Patient results Seperate tools
27 POCT: Training operators: Blood gases E-learning: Specific / ward For users & super users Daily visit: Possibility to ask questions 1x / year: At ward: training POCT Training operators
