Primes

• Baseline Deviation
  • In clinical laboratory reporting, every result arrives paired with a reference range and a high/low/critical flag, so the clinician never looks up "normal hemoglobin."

    This sourceStandard for establishing population reference intervals and high/low/critical flagging, including partitioning by demographic to avoid inappropriate-population references.

Mechanisms

• Reference Range Flag
  • The Reference Range Flag's first act is selecting the right range — pulling the age-appropriate, assay-appropriate reference interval

    This sourceRequires reference-interval work to account for subject partitions such as age and analytical-method differences rather than applying one undifferentiated range.
