title: Point-of-care training: strategies for success.
abstract: In most cases, the resources and time required for training staff in a POC integrated computer system are underestimated. Based on the authors' consulting and training experiences, particularly with an early POC installation at a large VNA, key strategies for the design, implementation, and evaluation of a POC training program are presented.
