Best practice for epoc usage

Hello,
I am reaching out to see if anyone has a written policy about "best practice" or "epoc usage". We are looking for direction to give to our epoc users. Is it common to let the epoc users always use the epoc and not send samples to the lab. We are running into insurance reimbursement issues due to "over user" of our Epocs. Other direction would be how many times should they rerun a sample before they send it to the lab due to errors??
please share how your "monitor" your POC device usage.

Can I ask where are you epoc being used? I have a new OR group who want the i-stat or epoc for gases. Not sure what they are doing but on one patient they sent 15 gases to be done.
