Assessment of Patient Satisfaction with On-Site Point-of-Care Hemoglobin A1c Testing: An Observational Study

ConclusionHbA1c testing at POCT improved adherence to recommendations for HbA1c testing frequency for better glycemic control and higher patient satisfaction. POCT reduces turnaround time, improves glycemic control, and facilitates the decision-making process. HbA1c measurement with POC devices is recommended to be implemented in diabetes treatment centers. All of the described benefits of POCT come together to make HbA1c testing the most common procedure for diabetes management at the point of care.
