Our lab has recently banned POC urine HCGs because they are "not
calibrated" — see also POC urine dipsticks and Hemocrits

at the trauma centers I have worked at in the past, the lab returns
serum  or 
urine hCG results in near real time. Interestingly enough, at least two
non  
trauma centers (both less than 8K visits a year) did do urine hCG
testing in 
the  department, as lab was often on call, not in house.
