Brain, I am confused by your term "Point of Care Testing". Are you speaking of the hand held program from Meditech? Why would JCAHO be interested in your testing of POC? Excellent information about adding normal ranges onto the CDS's though! Thanks!

We were told that every place we might document a POC, we had to display the normal range. We scraped by this because our NPR report that lists glucoses, had "a" normal range of 60-125 at the bottom of the report. BUT>>> they also want the normal on the CDS when we document it. Normals can vary based on the patient's age. What about ACT (Hemacron) tests? The normals are different based on the current procedure (dialysis, Cath procedure, etc.) What have you heard? What do you do?
