Emergent in-home patient visits and POCT

I have two questions surrounding emergent in-home programs where RNs/EMTs/Providers provide emergent care to patients in their homes to prevent them from having to make a trip to the emergency room. This is not a home health program or of that sort. This is to provide minimal emergent care to patients in their home to reduce the need to have them go to the emergency room. My questions pertain to providing/performing POCT during those visits.
1. Are you providing POCT COVID testing and if so, does anyone have the patient's do an at home COVID kit on themselves as part of the visit?
2. How are you monitoring temperatures for the POCT reagents that are being transported to the patient's home?
Thank you!
