Satakunta Central Hospital in Pori, Finland, is part of the Satakunta Hospital District Municipal Association, serving a provincial population of more than 200,000 in one of the country’s largest regions. The hospital provides a range of specialized healthcare, primary care, and social services, with an emphasis on quality care and service to patients and families.

The laboratory team at the hospital faces the ever-increasing demand for efficient service delivery. To meet that need, the hospital has been using point-of-care diagnostics solutions for more than 10 years. While speed and efficiency are crucial, the laboratory must have confidence that point-of-care testing (POCT) results are accurate and reliables.
