Point-of-care testing
Facilities administering point-of-care (POC) testing for COVID-19 must report all their positive test results to Clark County Public Health and Washington State Department of Health.
A point-of-care testing facility is one that administers POC tests, such as rapid tests for diagnosing COVID-19, which provide results within minutes of the test being administered.
Washington Administrative Code WAC 246-101 requires laboratories to report all COVID-19 results. This reporting requirement applies to all facilities conducting point-of-care or rapid screening tests for COVID-19, including clinics that are not traditionally a lab, such as long-term care facilities, schools, and correctional facilities.
Over-the-counter tests (those performed and interpreted by the patient) are considered point-of-care tests when they are done at the direction or recommendation of a CLIA-waived facility. The facility is required to report those results under their CLIA waiver as a POC result.
How to report POC results:
- Submit a COVID-19 POC Test Report Form to Clark County Public Health via secure fax at 564.397.8080
- Submit results to Washington State Department of Health via Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR).
Visit the CDC website for guidance on regulatory requirements for POC testing, using POC tests safely, and information on reporting POC test results.
