About
KEYPOCC
This information is brought to you by the KEYPOCC Officers.
We hope that you have found it to be both informative and
inspiring. We are members of KEYPOCC because the future of
our profession depends on us. Please join us in our cause to
make a DIFFERENCE!!
Our
Objective
The purpose of KEYPOCC is to form a collaborative network of
point-of-care coordinators with a willingness to share
information, ideas, and creative solutions to the unique
challenges presented by the growth of point-of-care testing
(POCT). Through a philosophy of open communication,
cooperation, and the use of various communication tools, we
strive to develop an association that serves:
As an education resource for everyday POCT issues.
As an educational resource for current and emerging POCT
standards and technologies.
To influence industry development efforts.
As an informational resource to other organizations.
Membership
As a member of KEYPOCC, you will have opportunities to
attend meetings and webinars on the most current topics in
Point of Care Testing (POCT).
A healthcare professional with an interest in the
development, delivery, or administration of POCT, and/or an
individual employed by a commercial firm providing sales or
support of products and/or services used for POCT, are
eligible for membership. The interaction among members, in
group settings or on a one-to-one basis, will prove
invaluable to the success of your POC Program. Becoming
involved in this professional organization not only benefits
you as an individual, but also those who are in your
profession and those for whom you really work– the PATIENT.
