Assisting laboratories adopt HRIs using a prepared checklist/ spread sheet The HRI checklist needs to be tested by laboratories using their own patient data and modifications made as necessary. To get uptake and adop- tion of this critical step small workshops will be run where representatives from laboratories can be shown how to analyse their own patient data and comparisons can be made between labs. We have budgeted for 3 such workshops to take place in Sydney and Melbourne. In addition we have also budgeted for travel by a relevant expert to individual laboratories All major laboratory networks will have used the checklist to process their patient data and produced Reference Intervals which can be compared to others including current Sonic RIs.

Resolving remaining analytical biases that prevent adoption of HRI Further survey work is be- ing conducted to deter- mine which analytes have analytical biases that might require analyser specific RIs. The results of this work need to be discussed at a face to face workshop similar to the one held by the AACB in 2012. The planned date for this workshop is in the 2nd half of 2013. (i).
