eseguire esami dove si assiste il malato
Fonte: http://it.health.yahoo.net/p_news.asp?id=21082&c=44&s=14
quindi si potrebbe tradurre: " ... da persone con esperienza specifica nell'industria della diagnostica medica eseguita
(nel luogo) dove il paziente è ricoverato

we are always interested in hearing from people with experience in the point-of-care medical diagnostic industry.
siamo costantemente interessati a ricevere pareri da persone con esperienza di diagnostica nei presidi medici.
ATTENZIONE "industry" viene spesso usato per indicare un settore qualunque in economia e non significa necessariamente "industria" nel senso moderno ma nel senso latino, cioè "attività". nella mia versione l'ho lasciato fuori completamente.

– Apr 22, 2009 – “World Markets for Point of Care Diagnostics 2009-13”, available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/KAL00158 reports that the POC diagnostics is one of the most dynamic parts of the diagnostics industry, and an area where several major competitors are battling for market share. Over the years, the increasing introduction of ***transportable, portable, and handheld instruments has resulted in the migration of POC testing from the hospital environment to a range of medical environments including the workplace, home, disaster care and most recently, convenience clinics***.

The point-of-care medical diagnostic industry alone is valued at $22
billion [http://www.mdis.org/textonly/News/159.htm]
• In-expensive, highly sensitive, real time, highly selective, noninvasive
• Can be located in a doctors’ office, where the patient breath into a

• Can easily get FDA approval and insurance coverage

Per point of care si intende il luogo fisico in cui viene eseguito l'esame diagnostico. Questo puo' essere un ambulatorio o studio medico privato convenzionato, una clinica, uno studio veterinario, ma anche un luogo in cui e' avvenuto un disastro (terremoto, uragano e quant'altro).
Si tratta quindi di dispositivi diagnostici trasportabili, che include tutta la gamma dei macchinari suddetti.
Un-altra possibilita' sarebbe di tradurre con dispositivi/apparecchiature diagnostiche ad uso ambulatoriale, che sarebbe corretto secondo me, non includerebbe i point-of care in aree disastrate e comunque darebbe adito a diverse interpretazioni.

My 2 cents...

Non so tratta di point of care esclusivamente per umani, la stessa dicitura si applica agli ambulatori veterinari, quindi occhio al "letto del paziente"...
