| 8701 | Co [NOKLUS]
Post-analytical automated haematologyOnly via internet
| Delivery
| October
| Specimens
| One haematological plot, a short case history and a questionnaire available on internet.
| Further details
| Each laboratory is allowed to participate only with one analyser. The scheme is not suitable for Beckman Coulter analysers or any leucosyte 3-part analysers.
The scheme is developed by NOKLUS and conducted only via the internet using a specific username and password. The participants will interpret results and a plot from their main haematology instrument and a short case history will be given.
The questionnaire asks e.g. if you would have trusted the results given by your instrument on the requested parameters, whether you would have reported additional parameters (not requested), whether you would have validated the results (and how), if other constituents would have been requested, and how and by whom the results are reported. The participants will receive a report where they can compare their own response from other laboratories. Earlier surveys conducted in Norway and Sweden have shown that there are large differences between the laboratories concerning what results they report and what actions they take before reporting them.
