METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING CHANGES IN MEDICAL PRACTICE, PROCEDURES AND PRODUCT CHOICE

摘要

A system and method for assessing the statistical and clinical acceptance of a new medical service or changes in products used by a clinical laboratory or hospital, and providing documentation of validation. The system and method includes an information exchange mechanism, such as an internet, extranet, compact disc (e.g., CD-ROM) or text-based mechanism to establish a systematic approach between a provider and client for collecting, reviewing and providing information to demonstrate the clinical validity of new or modified products. The collected information and user requests are evaluated using tools such as an analytical array to determine required protocols, limits and subsequent tests needed to demonstrate the clinical validity of products, and thereafter, to provide a report to show validation of the change.
