“…40 The use of haemoglobin A1c test (HbA1c) to monitor blood glucose levels in diabetic patients is the standard of care in developed countries and is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world as a point-of-care test in primary care units. 41 A study in the US showed that the implementation of an interface between the POCT blood sugar device, a data management system and the hospital information system, increased operator compliance and reached cost savings of up to $119,095 annually. 42 Another type of POCT for diabetes is self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, though the cost-effectiveness of this measure is still uncertain.…”

There are important differences concerning health outcomes between the Australian population living in rural/remote regions and the urban population. Health care provision in remote areas, particularly in regions with a low number of inhabitants, is not without challenges. Aboriginal, rural and remote communities are therefore affected, as they face various obstacles in accessing health services, owing to geographical settings, difficulties in transportation to nearby hospitals, limited or inexistent local qualified personnel. The implementation of point-of-care testing could be a plausible solution to these challenges, as various point-of-care services that have been successfully put into action worldwide indicate towards positive clinical outcomes. Point-of-care units have a real potential in reducing morbidity and mortality in all population groups. This article aims to review the published literature on point-of-care testing around the world, with a focus on health economics and the feasibility of its implementation in Australian rural and remote regions.
