INTRODUCTION 

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 
The goal of this study on the point-of-care (POC) industry is to describe this flourishing near-patient testing market. This report provides a complete review and analysis of the current POC markets as well as forecasts the market through 2014 in constant dollars. In addition, it provides an examination and description of products, current and emerging technologies, and company profiles.
The study also covers federal regulation of POC testing, international developments, and patents for POC testing technologies.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
 
Over the last few decades, there has been a strong trend toward POC testing due to an increasing demand for near-patient testing that provides rapid results. More tests are being performed at the hospital patient’s bedside, in physicians’ office laboratories, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and intensive-care units. Critical-care instruments combining selected important chemistry, hematology and hemostasis parameters have entered the market for POC testing in the emergency and operating rooms.
The wider availability of POC testing has revolutionized the continuum of the patient-care process by providing laboratory results rapidly and efficiently at these locations. The trend toward greater POC testing is driven by the faster diagnostic benefits it provides. 
Several reasons have emerged for this demand of POC testing, including staff shortages, older populations, long-term cost savings, faster diagnosis and care, and rural locations without conventional laboratory services. This study will address these areas and others.
SCOPE OF REPORT
 
This study will describe the market for POC Diagnostics at the global level. It focuses on the accelerating growth in this important diagnostic market segment and the key industry players. Specifically, the report:
