Abstract

A method for quantifying the extent of human-introduced variability in medical test data relative to one or more standards for comparable medical tests, the method comprising the following steps: providing user medical test data; comparing the user medical test data against one or more standards for comparable medical tests to determine the extent of deviation of the user medical test data from the one or more standards; and generating a variability-value corresponding to the maximum absolute percentage deviation of the user medical test data from the one or more standards over a predefined operating range of values for the one or more standards.
