I completely agree - it is up to the same professional decisional processes as exist now to assess what the results really represent. If two markedly different results come back for he same ivestigation from the same sample, there must be a problem somewhere, and it has to be investigated, and eventually at least one of the results will be foudn to be in error, for one or more of the reasons you mention. So I am certainly not advocating that humans stop using their expert judgement - just that once they have done so, we have a way of recording what that judgement was... - thomas - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
