  Fig. 1 Schematic display of the PGMT result record. (A) PGMT results listed in various electronic health records are integrated into the LIS after unification. (B) After unification, reports and prescriptions were automatically created real time when the POC glucose meter ID, operator ID, patient ID, and PGMT results were transmitted to the LIS. *Test results in the PGMT records were considered accessible. Abbreviations: POC, point-of-care; PGMT, point-of-care glucose meter test; ID, identification; LIS, laboratory information system.
