摘要: Abstract Background In a previous study we reported on the impact of point-of-care testing (POCT) practice efficiency in an academic primary care that was established to develop new models delivery. Here report follow-on confirmation more typical community. Methods this observational with retrospective comparison analysis measured metrics two patient cohorts: those did not receive POCT and did. Results cohort received there 99% reduction letters patients (p  Conclusions Our data confirm earlier published findings can improve practice.
