Healthcare Metrology: An industry synopsis and forward paths

Metrology in the Healthcare Industry is often approached as a maintenance-concentric entity with little return on investment, and little understanding of its necessary body of knowledge or potential. This panel discussion explores the current status of healthcare metrology, and discusses existing tools and approaches to allow for greater transparency of our true value to the overall business operation.

Uncertainty Analyses in Healthcare Metrology: A Simplistic Approach to its Application in Field Calibrations for True Traceability

The incorporation of simple Type A and B model uncertainty analyses in Healthcare Metrology field calibrations is commonly overlooked in favor of ‘accuracy’ specifications, where accuracy and TARs are often based solely upon ‘blind faith’ engineering data. Many organisations have ample field data, where most of the work lies, but are uneasy about uncertainty budgeting. This presentation details simplistic approaches to implementing uncertainty analyses in Healthcare Metrology field calibrations to collect meaningful statistical data. This statistical data may in turn segue to the implementation of TUR (Testing Uncertainty Ratios), statistics-based risk and interval analyses.
