Abstract
A computerized method for normalizing the results of clinical laboratory tests to a reference scale includes providing a measured value of a clinically significant parameter, providing a set of patient data, and providing a set of method data, including an indication of a method used by a testing instrument used to measure the measured value. One or more correlation factors are retrieved including a method correlation factor from a computer readable database based on the method data. The method correlation factor corresponds to the method used by the testing instrument used to measure the measured value. A normalized value of the clinically significant parameter is calculated based upon the one or more correlation factors. The normalized value may correspond to a value on the reference scale regardless of the method used by the testing instrument.
