Abstract: NIST Measurement Methods and Standard Reference Materials for Health Status Markers : Current Program and Future Challenges A 1999 study by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine estimates that up to 98,000 people die annually in the United States due to medical errors. While many medical errors are not due to inaccurate measurements, improved measurement accuracy could save lives as well as time and money. In addition, International standards organizations are beginning to require traceability of the accuracy of medical measurements to national standards. For example, the European Union now requires that certain diagnostic medical devices be traceable to standards of the highest order. We need to develop internationally accepted reference methods and certified reference materials to meet this requirement.
