Lab Tests Online, a comprehensive and clear online source of information on laboratory testing is now available in Spanish. Adhering to the same non-commercial and peer-review policies that have made Lab Tests Online a success in the United States and the United Kingdom, the Spanish version provides already access to 74 parameters, explaining in detail the various tests and samples, the associated conditions and the most frequent questions. New tests, conditions and screening programmes will be added on a regular basis.
Lab Tests Online has been developed by clinical laboratory professionals to help citizens and caregivers to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases. The Spanish site has been developed by the Sociedad Española de Bioquímica Clínica y Patologia Molecular (SEQC) in cooperation with Fenin, the national Medical Technology association member of EDMA, the European Diagnostic Manufacturers Association.
Lab Tests Online ES is the result of an agreement signed between the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) and EDMA to translate and adapt the content of the US website Lab Tests Online to European countries.
In the coming months, four new Lab Tests Online versions, with original material of particular relevance in these countries, will be available in German, Polish, Italian and Hungarian. All sites are developed in close cooperation by the national diagnostics associations affiliated to EDMA and professional users’ societies.
