The (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute ) (CLSI) is a volunteer-driven, membership-supported, not-for-profit, standards development organization. CLSI promotes the development and use of voluntary laboratory consensus standards and guidelines within the health care community. The organization’s mission is to develop clinical and laboratory practices and promote their use worldwide. == History == In 1968, 31 clinicians and laboratory scientists representing 15 organizations met to discuss ways of "improving what we are doing for patients" and to develop a formal consensus process for standardization. In 1977, CLSI was accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a voluntary consensus standards organization. At about the same time, CLSI became the home of the National Reference System for the Clinical Laboratory (NRSCL), a collection of broadly understood reference systems intended to improve the comparability of test results, consistent with the needs of medical practice. CLSI actively promotes global harmonization of standards through its own initiatives and through communication and cooperation with many standards-developing organizations around the world. CLSI's formal education program began with workshops designed to increase the effectiveness of its standards and guidelines, and continues today with online workshops, webinars, and certificate programs. Since its start in 1968, CLSI has evolved into a global association of 1,500+ member organizations and individual members, as well as more than 2,000 volunteers—all working together to advance quality in health care testing. Until 2005, CLSI was known under the name National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
