Description: UniPOC Data Management System is a browser-based software application that allows users to manage a Point-of-Care (POC) program from any computer throughout a healthcare facility. This is a vendor-neutral connectivity product that interfaces hardware products with information systems. UniPOC includes configurable features to automatically or manually forward patient and Quality Control (QC) results to the Laboratory or Hospital Information System (LIS or HIS).

UniPOC is a web-based application hosted on VA premises. Data is not sent beyond the VA firewall. Patient test results and associated Protected Health Information (PHI) are stored in a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database. A bi-directional interface allows data to be uploaded from and downloaded to any supported instrument. The bi-directional interface is designed to help manage data and comply with laboratory standards and policies. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) support was added with UniPOC 1.2 release.
