Abstract
Recent advances in technology have made it possible to meet the demand for rapid turnaround time of laboratory results by making the testing equipment accessible to nonlaboratory personnel. It is imperative that such testing, ie, nurses analyzing glucose at the patient’s bedside, be organized and monitored by the clinical pathology laboratory consistent with the requirements of various regulatory groups. An alternative program utilizing laboratory personnel involves use of a mobile cart for the analysis of glucose in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. Both types of programs have been successfully implemented at a large suburban hospital.
