Global private and public sector agencies have significantly increased their investment in the development of POC diagnostics to meet the unmet needs of patients in resource-limited settings, particularly disease burdened settings with limited access to laboratory infrastructure. However, previous research has demonstrated that the availability of health technologies in these settings does not always guarantee patient-centered outcomes. The applicability, effectiveness and sustainability of diagnostic technologies is affected by the involvement of all stakeholders during planning and implementation, which must be relevant to each specific context and sensitive to local culture. Factors such as infrastructure, resources, values and characteristics of participants can influence the implementation, scalability and sustainability of health interventions such as POC diagnostics. This book, "Implementation and Scale up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings", presents literature reviews and primary research studies focusing on the implementation and scale up of POC diagnostics in resource-limited settings. 517 $aImplementation and Scale Up of Point of Care 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aSocial interaction$2bicssc 610 $aacceptability 610 $aaccess to healthcare 610 $aantenatal care 610 $aartificial intelligence 610 $aaugmented reality 610 $abarriers to diagnostics 610 $ablockchain 610 $ablood group 610 $acase management 610 $aCOVID-19 era 610 $adiagnosis 610 $aelectronic health information system 610 $aend-user perspectives 610 $ageographical access 610 $aGhana 610 $aglucose-6-phosphate dioxygenase deficiency 610 $ahealthcare providers 610 $ahealthcare services 610 $aHIV self-testing 610 $aimplementation 610 $ainterrupted time series 610 $akey stakeholder 610 $alow and middle income countries 610 $amaternal healthcare 610 $amaternal mortality 610 $amedical education 610 $aneglected tropical diseases 610 $aNigeria 610 $anominal group technique 610 $anovel coronavirus disease-19 610 $apatients 610 $apoint of care ultrasound 610 $apoint-of-care 610 $apoint-of-care CD4+ t testing 610 $apoint-of-care diagnostics 610 $apoint-of-care testing 610 $apoint-of-care ultrasound 610 $apoint-of-care-ultrasound 610 $aprimary healthcare clinics 610 $aqualitative survey 610 $aquality HIV point-of-care-diagnostics 610 $arhesus type 610 $ascale-up 610 $aschistosomiasis 610 $asegmented regression analysis 610 $aself-testing 610 $aspatial accessibility 610 $astakeholder engagement 610 $asyphilis 610 $atelemedicine 610 $atreatment 610 $aultrasound 610 $aupper east region 610 $aUpper East Region 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aSocial interaction 700 $aMashamba-Thompson$b Tivani$4edt$01285486 702 $aDrain$b Paul K$4edt 702 $aMashamba-Thompson$b Tivani$4oth 702 $aDrain$b Paul K$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557443003321 996 $aImplementation and Scale Up of Point of Care (POC) Diagnostics in Resource-Limited Settings$93019595 997 $aUNINA
