Abstract:
Integrated diagnostics is an emerging multidisciplinary model of care that integrates traditionally siloed domains, including pathology, radiology, genomics, and laboratory medicine, into a coordinated framework designed to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment selection, and clinical outcomes. In this position statement, the EFLM Integrated Diagnostics Committee proposes a concise and operational definition of integrated diagnostics and outlines the relevance for healthcare systems. Integrated diagnostics has the potential to advance precision medicine through improved data integration, more coordinated interpretation, and enhanced clinical decision-making. Drawing on multidisciplinary expert consensus, we recommend adoption of a standardized conceptual framework to support research, clinical implementation, interoperability, and policy development across healthcare systems with implementation adapted to local needs, scale, and digital maturity.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
