Abstract
To achieve rapid assessment of chest pain in emergency/cardiology departments, a short turnaround time for cardiac marker testing is necessary. Nevertheless, Total Quality Management principles must be incorporated into the management of point-of-care testing (POCT); in this setting we implemented the Stratus CSKeywords
