- Abstract
The article focuses on the importance of point-of-care (POC) instrumentation used by the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in response to growth of the clinic and request for POC capabilities from various departments in New Orleans, Louisiana. POC testing (POCT) have proven vital to widespread acceptance and success within the Ochsner system. However, POCT became a crucial component of Ochsner's laboratory disaster-response plan, at the time Hurricane Katrina hit.
