As point of care has a different set of solutions/circumstances compared to traditional laboratory software, we have been developing more and more software for this unique market. We have recently developed an integrated accreditation module that will allow users of point of care instruments to be certified and re-certified on line using the on-line training and examination capability (Web Based), thus easing a training and exam testing issue for certification, from point of care co-ordinators and/or managers controlling this type of documentation/certification. Additional usage of this module is for the publishing of Standard Operating Procedures and/or any other relevant documentation that is required by the operators/users of the system.
