Clinical Pathology Quality and PerformanceInpatient Point of Care Testing Each month Pathology staff conducts a survey in the inpatient units, and records the following information for POC Glucose reagents : Inspections are focused on the following items. 1. Are opened glucose reagents marked with an open and/or expiration date? Reagents are marked with an “opened date” if expiration is not affected by opening bottle/container. If reagent is affected by opening container (example: good for 14 days after opening) it is marked with “expiration date”. 2. Reagents in use are prior to expiration date. Compliance is calculated as a percentage of all inpatient units within UMHS.
