Implementation of the consistent policies, operating procedures and the operational and technical capacity required by the IHR(2005) will help ensure early warning and efficient international management of a biological incident, whether naturally occurring or deliberate in nature, thereby promoting our national health security.
Challenges include maintaining collegiality with referring community physicians, integrating faculty despite geographic distance, preserving the department's academic "brand name," and ensuring consistent standards and operating procedures.
Given that satellites can be up to 100 miles away from the main campus, several leaders voiced concern about integrating faculty members and having consistent standards and operating procedures throughout the department.
Processing of samples follows standard operating procedures consistent with accepted laboratory practice.
Given that the recruitment strategy and standard operating procedures were consistent across studies, IPAQ data were combined.
The MRM measurements are overall consistent across laboratories following the same standard operating procedures, and heavy peptides can be used as an effective internal standard for reducing apparent inter-site variability.
Apprehension about public scrutiny may provide an incentive for all agencies to ensure that their processes are well-documented and consistent, and that they are fully compliant with the standard operating procedures set out for them.
This will include advances in instrumentation and operating procedures designed to support devices that are quantitatively consistent from day to day and from patient to patient.
In other words, overall the MRM measurements are consistent across the labs given that they follow the same standard operating procedures.
In order to provide plant material of consistent quality, these processes need to be scientifically investigated and standard operating procedures and specific endpoints need to be defined and implemented [ 87].
