Ask the experts: instrument calibration in everyday family medicine

About this Webinar

In routine practice, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Contrary to earlier assumptions, threshold harmonization is still an open question, as discussed in the accompanying commentary. In multidisciplinary settings, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, as discussed in the accompanying commentary.

Recent studies suggest that training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, pending validation in prospective studies. From a workflow perspective, threshold harmonization is still an open question, a finding echoed by several independent groups. In routine practice, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, with meaningful differences between subgroups. From a workflow perspective, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
