This journal focuses on the evaluation and improvement of diagnostic processes and accuracy across various medical contexts. It examines analytical performance of diagnostic tests and analyzers, cognitive biases in clinical reasoning, and the impact of factors like sample integrity and storage on diagnostic results. The scope also includes the study of diagnostic errors, the development of new diagnostic metrics, and the role of technology, such as artificial intelligence, in diagnosis. Patient experience with diagnostic procedures and the establishment of reference intervals for diagnostic assays are also key areas of interest.
