Forging partnerships that work: a strategy for near-patient testing.
Near-patient testing systems, which bring innovative technologies to the site of patient care, also offer management challenges to effectively integrate clinical and laboratory services. A two-tiered committee structure--composed of an umbrella "advisory" organization supported by several subcommittees operating as the "working arms" of the program--offers a viable strategy to address issues involved in implementing and monitoring near-patient testing systems.
