Point of Care (POC) blood glucose testing at Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust is managed centrally at Derriford Hospital through the powerful POC data management solution from Roche, cobas IT 1000. This makes it much quicker and easier to access results and additional information stored on each system, improving quality control and enhancing the care of patients.The Trust’s Accu-Chek Inform II blood glucose meters, located across a number of sites within the acute Trust and in the community, are linked to cobas IT 1000 via wireless or hard wired connections. Section Lead for POC testing and EQA at Derriford Hospital, Tony Cambridge, explains, “With cobas IT 1000, the POC team is able to coordinate their activities centrally, rather than waiting to find potential problems on their rounds. This allows us to focus our efforts more effectively and to react promptly when any issues occur.”
