The protocol describes the methods of measurement - each measure can only
have one protocol - so this means that the measurement would be entered
twice - quite appropriate because it is unlikely that a different method
will lead to exactly the same result.

This is an interesting idea...but it raises issues as you have to have
normal ranges for each of these. I do not see why the results could not be
duplicated in multiple units is required - at present we do not have the

Thank you. I think we have all of these issues covered.

I think the fact that some results are a mean calculated by a human
is a red-herring.
In fact nearly all numerical analyte values from automated machines
are a mean of a number of estimates - part of the internal quality control
is that the
standard deviation of these estimates is acceptable -
Sam et al,
At least in the Australian context there are regulatory requirements
to report in Standard units only. So reporting the same
result in multiple different units is not possible.
What the standard units are, will vary across different realms

Further to what you have stated there will also be events such as sample is
single time is same and the test is same but method of reporting and or
conducting test is different. Blood Sugar is one example sample is taken and
tested on the bedside and sent to a lab also.

You have factored the details relating to reporting. A major issue is the
transmission and reading of the result by the clinician. Ther is to be time

Dear Sam,
What you say is correct.
In clinical practice it is also possible that the same sample is sent to two
labs for the same test and the protocol followed by both the labs is same so
is the est method and the unit of reporting. The sample
