Abstract

A computer-implemented method is for comparing protocols. In an embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes first receipt of a first protocol relating to a performance of a measurement at a first medical device, including a plurality of first protocol steps; and second receipt of a second protocol relating to a performance of a measurement at a second medical device. The computer-implemented method further includes determination of a plurality of arrangements of the first protocol steps; determination of a plurality of comparison values, each of the comparison values being based on a comparison of the second protocol with one of the arrangements of the first protocol steps; determination of an agreement value based upon the plurality of comparison values; and provision of the agreement value.
