English term

point-of-care testing

English to Norwegian Medical Medical (general)
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is defined as medical testing at or near the site of patient care.[1] The driving notion behind POCT is to bring the test conveniently and immediately to the patient. This increases the likelihood that the patient, physician, and care team will receive the results quicker, which allows for immediate clinical management decisions to be made.

pasientnære undersøkelser

Hei Hanne,

Ifølge norsk standard (se referansetekst under) er dette "pasientnære undersøkelser", selv om det også er vanlig å bruke forkortelsen POCT, ev. med (point-of-care testing) (f.eks. referanse nummer to).

Example sentence:

Consensus Committee on POCT ble etablert i 2001.

Pasientnære undersøkelser (point-of-care-testing, POCT) - Krav til kvalitet og kompetanse (ISO 22870:2006)
