NCCLS Guidelines2
As an outcome of the Connectivity Consortium,7 this standard establishes a set of specifications to allow seamless multivendor interoperability and communication between point-of-care devices, data concentrators and clinical information systems. One of the goals of the new system is to get data downloaded as soon as the user is finished, and it is critical to be able to demonstrate that the POC test was performed in compliance with the policy of an overall diagnostic testing quality system for the institution.
Why is connectivity for the Stratus® CS System so valuable?
  Achieve compliance with POCT1-A, the new NCCLS Standard for POCT devices
  Automate manual reporting procedures
  Improve billing and charting
  Eliminate the paper records of POCT administrative activities
  Optimize the workflow for decentralized testing
  Reduce costs and increase efficiencies

"The minute the result becomes available, it needs to travel to the patient's record. That will generate a transaction order number, which will generate a bill through the billing system."
L. Ramos. Critical Care Hot Topics. 2000.8
