Chem­i­cal Pathol­o­gy brings togeth­er sci­ence and med­i­cine. It is respon­si­ble for more than 1000 order­able tests, 4075 unique reportable results and the per­for­mance of more than 20 mil­lion tests per year with­in NSWHP.

The Chem­i­cal Pathol­o­gy Har­mon­i­sa­tion Project is a com­plex and com­pre­hen­sive pro­gram of works that entailed a review of all Chem­i­cal Pathol­o­gy Test Names, Ref­er­ence Inter­vals and Report Com­ments. The review and har­mon­i­sa­tion work will impact many of the broad­er trans­for­ma­tive projects in NSWHP and is a new bench­mark in Australia.

While the project work is com­plex, the impact on our patients is sim­ple – it ensures that no mat­ter where you live in NSW, your age or your cul­ture, you can trust that your pathol­o­gy tests and results are not only of the high­est qual­i­ty, but have been reviewed to ensure they are being inter­pret­ed in line with the best avail­able sci­en­tif­ic evi­dence. The data and the asso­ci­at­ed inter­pre­ta­tion pro­vide stan­dard­i­s­a­tion in prac­tice, and allows for equal access to the lat­est clin­i­cal care and treat­ment meth­ods when they are most needed.
