Abstract
Harmonization of laboratory testing refers to ability to achieve the same result, within clinically acceptable limits and the same interpretation irrespective of the measurement procedure used, the unit or reference interval applied, and when and/or where a measurement made is in agreement. 1 The purpose of harmonizing laboratory data is to enhance patient care quality, leading to better patient outcomes and safety. Initiatives for harmonization and standardization have primarily concentrated on analytical processes carried out within the laboratories, particularly clinical chemistry testing. 2
