Der Begriff Point-of-Care-Testing oder kurz POCT, zu deutsch patientennahe Labordiagnostik, bezeichnet in der Medizin diagnostische Untersuchungen, die nicht in einem Zentrallabor, sondern im Krankenhaus unmittelbar auf der Krankenstation, in der Praxis eines niedergelassenen Arztes, oder einer öffentlichen Apotheke durchgeführt werden.
