Harmonization of Clinical Laboratory Test Results.
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Clinical laboratory testing is now a global activity with laboratories no longer working in isolation but as regional and national networks, and often at international levels. We now have all of the electronic gadgetry via internet technology at our fingertips to rapidly and accurately measure and report on laboratory testing but are our test results harmonized?

متن کاملHarmonization of laboratory testing - Current achievements and future strategies.
Harmonization in laboratory testing is more far-reaching than merely analytical harmonization. It includes all aspects of the total testing process from the "pre-pre-analytical" phase through analysis to the "post-post-analytical" phase. Harmonizing the pre-analytical phase requires use of standardized operating procedures for correct test selection, sample collection and handling, while standa...
متن کاملHarmonization in laboratory medicine: the complete picture.
Evidence of the acute lack of interchangeable laboratory results and consensus in current practice among clinical laboratories has underpinned greater attention to standardization and harmonization projects. Although the focus is mainly on the standardization of measurement procedures, the scope of harmonization goes beyond method and analytical results: it includes all other aspects of laborat...
متن کاملHarmonization: the Sample, the Measurement, and the Report
Harmonization of clinical laboratory results means that results are comparable irrespective of the measurement procedure used and where or when a measurement was made. Harmonization of test results includes consideration of pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical aspects. Progress has been made in each of these aspects, but there is currently poor coordination of the effort among differ...
متن کامل"Harmonization of laboratory testing - A global activity".
The harmonization of laboratory testing is a high priority topic in Laboratory Medicine. It is more than harmonized terminology, units of reporting, methodology and reference intervals but, rather, covers a wide range of topics from the “pre-pre-analytical” phase (‘Right test at the Right time for the Right patient’) to the analytical aspects and reporting of critical results through to consume...
متن کاملRoadmap for harmonization of clinical laboratory measurement procedures.
Results between different clinical laboratory measurement procedures (CLMP) should be equivalent, within clinically meaningful limits, to enable optimal use of clinical guidelines for disease diagnosis and patient management. When laboratory test results are neither standardized nor harmonized, a different numeric result may be obtained for the same clinical sample. Unfortunately, some guidelin...
