ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS (APS): MOVING FROM MODELS TO PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
Ideally APSs are criteria that specify (in numerical terms) the quality required for analytical performance to deliver laboratory test information that would satisfy clinical needs for improving health outcomes.
The aim of this conference is to go through and discuss the three different models agreed by the Milan 2014 EFLM Strategic Conference to set APS for the medical laboratory and to give practical examples on how this can be done.
