Martin’s Point Health Care
At the end of this presentation, the
learner should be able to:
• Discuss point-of-care testing and current opportunities within
pharmacy practice
• Describe what a CLIA waiver is and how to obtain one
• Identify CLIA waived tests that have been approved in Maine
• Discuss the impact point-of-care testing has on pharmacy practice
• Given a complex patient case, assess which CLIA waived tests may
be done at the pharmacy
Background
• Expansion of pharmacy practice
– ASHP Statement on the Pharmacist’s Role in Primary Care
(1999)
– ASHP statement on role of health-system pharmacists in
public health (2008)
– RADM Scott Giberson “A Report to the US Surgeon General
2011”
• Development of point-of-care testing
– Establishing a Pharmacy-Based Laboratory Service (2000)
– Point-of-care testing: an introduction (2004)
Point-of-care Testing
Point-of-care testing
• Diagnostic testing performed at or near the
site of patient care
• It is a supplement to, not a replacement for,
central laboratory testing
• The test is convenient and immediate for the
patient
General applications
• Screening
– Identifies persons at high risk for disease
– Screening events
• Disease/drug monitoring
– Determines efficacy of therapy
– Used with patients already diagnosed with a disease
• Diagnosing
– Determines presence of a disease (not a function of
pharmacists)
Opportunities
• Outpatient
– Community pharmacy
– Ambulatory care
• Inpatient
– Emergency medicine
– Critical care
Common Tests
•
•
•
•

Pregnancy
HIV
STDs

Legal and Regulatory
Requirements
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
• Basic OSHA and CLIA-waive standards
• These regulations differ from those governing
other typical pharmacy activities
Maine legislature
• Maine BOP has recognized point of care
testing to be within the scope of pharmacy
practice
• Awaiting release of official wording of rules
and regulations
OSHA
• Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
• Develops and enforces workplace safety and
health regulations
• Created to save lives, prevent injuries, and
protect the health of America’s workers
https://www.osha.gov/law-regs.html
OSHA regulations
• Performing laboratory tests
• Consistent use of personal protective
equipment
• Safe procedures
CLIA
• Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments
• Passed by Congress in 1988
• Established quality standards for laboratory testing
• Ensures accuracy, reliability, and timeliness
• Final regulations published in Federal Register on
February 28, 1992
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/IVDRegulatoryAssistance/ucm124202.htm
CLIA Waived Tests
• Simple laboratory examinations and procedures
• Insignificant risk of an erroneous result
• Tests that meet risk, error, and complexity
requirements are issued a CLIA certificate of waiver
• November 2007 – CLIA waiver provisions revised by
Congress to make it clear that tests approved by the
FDA for home use automatically qualify for CLIA waiver
Blood Glucose
• Bayer A1CNow
• Bayer Contour Blood Glucose System

• Scroll down to “Related Links”
• Click “CMS 116 PDF”
Obtaining a Certificate of Waiver
• Fill out the CMS-116 form and send to the State
Survey Agency
– Information provided at the end of the presentation

announced inspections by CMS
– The purpose is to ensure the quality of the point-ofcare testing conducted in each laboratory
Establishing a CLIA waived site
Location

Point-of-care Program
Incorporation
CDTM and MTM
• Collaborative Drug Therapy Management
– Initiating, monitoring, modifying and discontinuing of a patient’s
drug therapy by a pharmacist in accordance with a collaborative
practice agreement
• Medication Therapy Management
– Monitoring and evaluating patient’s response to medication
– Developing a plan for resolving medication-related problems
– Educating the patient on use of medications and monitoring
devices
– Monitoring and assessing the results of the patient’s laboratory
testing
Outcomes
Outcomes
• A Randomized Trial of the Effect of Community
Pharmacist Intervention on Cholesterol Risk
Management (2002)
– Tsuyuki et. al
– Randomized, controlled trial conducted in 54 community
pharmacies
– 675 patients enrolled
– Early termination of the study because of striking evidence
of benefit in the intervention group compared with the
usual care group (p < 0.0001)
– A community-based intervention program improved the
process of cholesterol management in high-risk patients
Outcomes
• Does point-of-care testing lead to the same or
better adherence of medication? (2009)
– Gialamas et. al
– Multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial using
non-inferiority analysis
– 4968 patients with established type 1 or type 2
diabetes, established hyperlipidemia, or requiring
anticoagulant therapy
– Point-of-care testing was non-inferior to pathology
laboratory testing in relation to the proportion of
questionnaire responses indicating medication
adherence
Outcomes
• Evaluation of a pharmacist-managed lipid
clinic that uses point-of-care lipid testing
(2010)
– Gerrald, Dixon, Barnette, Williams
– Retrospective, observational analysis
– 81 patients met study inclusion criteria
– An outpatient hospital-based, pharmacistmanaged lipid clinic improved LDL-C goal
attainment
Outcomes
• Warfarin Management Using Point-of-Care
Testing in a University-Based Internal
Medicine Residency Clinic (2012)
– Smith, Harrison, Ripley, Grace, Bronze, Jackson
– Anticoagulation-focused quality improvement
initiative
– 167 INR values obtained
– The results showed significant improvement in the
percentage of patients who were in the the
therapeutic range with the use of POCT
Case
ML is a 28 year old female who wants to use
your point-of-care testing services. She cannot
go to a doctor because she does not have any
insurance.
Which point-of-care tests would you
recommend to use on ML?
