Impact of point of care testing on length of stay of patients in the Emergency Department. We were surprised by the non significant reduction in ED length of stay and curious about the possibility of entrenched clinical work patterns. Being a centre without CT we were also excited about the use of POCUS for diagnosis diverticulitis. Thanks team Kotahitanga!
