It is essential that providers offering collection and diagnostic or monitoring services maintain or exceed the quality of training, collection service, and testing that is provided by major centers, and is demanded by national accrediting agencies. This is necessary to protect the client and reduce the risk of liability to providers.

Documentation of proper training, testing, and management of risk reduction policies are essential as evidence in disability, personal injury, and malpractice cases. Training consideration should be focused on national and international standards, assurance of competency, knowledge, and quality of care offered to clients.

We customize workshops to train individuals involved in point-of-care testing services. Emphasis is placed on providing safe quality care to clients. Training focuses on the proper procedure for performing skin-punctures, and the proper use, maintenance, trouble-shooting, instrument calibration, and quality control of instruments, which will be used for testing and monitoring of medical conditions. 

In addition to workshops and training sessions, we assist in policy, process and protocol development, and perform competence assessment for personnel involved in point-of-care testing services, according to American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) standardized guidelines. Operator competence assessment includes direct observation of test performance, problem-solving,  skill evaluation, and assessment of test performance using unknown samples.
