Abstract:
The IX European Symposium of the Clinical Laboratory and In Vitro Diagnostics Industry, entitled "Stat Tests in Clinical laboratory", took place in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain), between May 17-18, 2017. The scientific program was structured in several round-tables that dealt with the following topics: emergency laboratory models, accreditation of stat tests by ISO 15189, critical issues of stat tests and the new proposals of the in vitro diagnostics industry for emergency laboratories. The aim of the Symposium was the discussion of the transformation that stat tests have generated on clinical laboratories in terms of organization, turnaround time, accreditation, and probable evolution of these laboratories coming years.
