Many in the clinical and manufacturing community have their eyes on the Physician Office Laboratory (POL) as an outlet both to improve patient compliance and outcomes and to open new market opportunities. Studies are emerging on the clinical outcomes and cost-benefit of nearer-the-patient testing, but little certain is known about POLs as a distribution channel for diagnostics products.

Kalorama's Physician Office Laboratory (POL) Testing Markets Worldwide: Status Quo and Future Trends takes a bold look into the technologies and trends in physician office laboratories (POLs)—with a special focus on the economics of test use in on-site patient care—and quantifies the market for this type of testing worldwide and in specific regions.

Definitions and Methodology
The term physician office lab (POL) is as wide and diverse as one can imagine. It encompasses physician practices as small as 2 to 5 doctors that perform a few rapid tests to large practices of some 200 physicians that operate labs similar to small hospital laboratories. The definition used here is therefore broad and refers to the market for tests which are:

This broad definition is used because near patient testing is shaped by the nature of the healthcare system in place and the culture of a specific region or country. A precise estimation of the IVD company revenues assigned to the POL market is a somewhat precarious exercise. Most POL rapid tests are carried by catalogue vendors such as VWR and Thermo-Fisher and by distributors specializing POL sales. In the case of large POLs, the sale of small chemistry, hematology and immunoassay analyzers is often handled by an IVD company representative; otherwise distributors serve most other POLs.

The estimates provided in this report refer to factory sales to the end user or distributor and not retail pricing or reimbursement payments. The estimate was established using U.S. CMS physician service data (2005), company reports, industry publications, various other government and private market research resources, and as part of Kalorama's trusted information-gathering process, extensive contact with professional including industry professionals and conference attendees to verify information and forecasts.
