Case Study 1 Community Hospital laboratory has decided to develop several POCT sites both inside and outside the hospital. The plan calls for establishing active POCT programs in the hospital emergency department and intensive care units, and in one site in a free clinic. All sites would be supplied with the same instruments and perform the same menu of tests. The laboratory manager has designated an educator in the laboratory to train all employees for the new POCT sites in the operation and maintenance of the instruments. However, the physician at the free clinic also wants to be trained so that he can train personnel who perform the testing at his site. Explain why it is preferable for the same person to train all the employees.
