Point-of-care testing[POCT] has many advantages and disadvantages. Rapid availability of the results facilitates immediate decision making, which is a most important advantage. However, the results get lost occasionally and solving this problem is essential for the successful use of POCT. We linked a portable blood gas analyzers to the computer network system in our hospital. At the same time we created a new program to automatically save results and create test orders. Thereafter, there has been no loss of results and the results can be checked quickly at any computer display in our hospital. Surveying past results has also become very easy. This rapid sharing and easy survey of results has enhanced the value of POCT by facilitating more immediate clinical decision making and improving the quality of hospital service. In the near future, POCT will have a much greater menu and be used more widely. Many types of echographic studies will be done at bed side as well. Linking POCT to computer network system and automatically saving the results are critical points to providing quality service in hospitals of the new era.
即时检验（POCT）有诸多优缺点。结果快速可得便于即时决策，这是最重要的优点。然而，结果偶尔会丢失，解决此问题对POCT的成功应用至关重要。我们将便携式血气分析仪连接到我院的计算机网络系统。同时，我们创建了一个新程序来自动保存结果并生成检验订单。此后，结果再无丢失，且可在我院的任何计算机显示屏上快速查看。查看既往结果也变得非常容易。这种结果的快速共享和轻松查看通过促进更即时的临床决策和提高医院服务质量，提升了POCT的价值。在不久的将来，POCT将有更多项目且应用更广泛。许多类型的超声检查也将在床边进行。将POCT与计算机网络系统连接并自动保存结果是新时代医院提供优质服务的关键点。
