Goals

: The objectives of this study were to improve awareness of point of-care testing as a new medical field, to solidify

relationships among point-of-care professionals and other medical disciplines, and to identify potential for advancing medical

applications, economic benefits, and patient impact through timely decision-making for evidence-based medicine.

Methods

: Literature review, comprehensive analysis, focused analysis, inductive logic, general summary of international

outcomes, and comparative advances that improve point-of-care impact in China and other countries in need of rapid response

were performed in this study.

Results

: The creation of point-of-careology comprised the following: (a) introduction of its research and practical scope, (b)

appropriate definition of this new field, (c) description of the range of applications, and (d) identification of relationships with

other disciplines.

Conclusions

: Point-of-care testing now is being written into a professional textbook in medical schools in China. Point-of-

careology is the outcome of evolution in intelligent diagnostics. Notable achievements in critical care medicine, emergency

response, and general practice have resulted from the implementation of point-of-care testing over the past 4 decades. As a new

discipline, point-of-careology will contribute to key medical areas, such as disaster preparedness and public health, which we

explore. The creation of this new specialty is justified by trends in modern medicine with improved service to the public and by

parallel technological advances that empower health care providers at sites of need to deliver complete care cycles quickly and

effectively.
