Point-of-care (POC) data transmission scheme with new glucose meters. There was a bidirectional flow of data with portable glucose meters. Glucose measurements and accompanying data are uploaded to the interface manager when devices are docked, and ADT data from the hospital information system (HIS) is directly transmitted via the P-web manager to the POC devices. This permits mismatches to be performed and corrected in real time at the point-of-care or patient bedside. Matched or corrected data then gets transmitted via the interface manager to the laboratory information system (LIS)
