Clinical Laboratory Quality Indicators and harmonization across the GTA hospitals

We aim to harmonize quality indicators across hospital-based clinical laboratories in the GTA that identify areas for quality improvement and enable sharing of best practices.

Improving the diagnosis and management of iron deficiency and anemia

We aim to change current ferritin clinical decision limits for iron deficiency in order to increase ferritin testing rates, prompt treatment of iron deficiency, decrease risk of anemia and improve quality of life among affected individuals.

Harmonization of critical values across the GTA hospitals

We are aiding the harmonization of critical values used by hospitals and their associated clinical laboratories across the GTA to ensure consistency in the definition and identification of 'critical state' patients.

Reference Interval harmonization across the GTA

We aim to assess the current state of reference interval variation for key chemistry and immunoassays in the Greater Toronto Area and work to facilitate harmonization.
