Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Point-of-care laboratory testing (POCT) offers reduced turnaround time and may facilitate medical decision-making and improve clinical operations. However, there is very little published data concerning the impact of POCT on patient satisfaction.
METHODS: We implemented POCT for hemoglobin A1c, lipid panel and comprehensive metabolic panel in a primary care practice and monitored patient satisfaction with on-site testing using an anonymous survey.
RESULTS: A total of 97 surveys (65% response rate) were reviewed. On a scale of 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent) the mean response to the question \"Compared with your past experiences of physician office visits that did not have on-site testing please rank your overall level of satisfaction with today\'s office visit\" was 3.96. In 34 surveys a free text comment was included which was uniformly very positive.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study strongly indicates a high level of patient satisfaction with on-site POCT in a primary care setting.
