Process Steps

Understand QIBA Profile Stages & QIBA Concepts

Getting to Stage 1: Public Comment

Getting to Stage 2: Consensus

Getting to Stage 3: Clinically Feasible (formerly Technically Confirmed)

Getting to Stage 4: Claim Confirmed

  • 4a. Design Method to assess site performance (in terms of metrics in Profile Claims, e.g., wCV)
  • 4b. Recruit sites to follow the Profile and assess site performance per 4a
  • 4c. Analyze Site Performance Data and assess against Profile Claim
  • 4d. Review & Approve then Publish Claim Confirmed Profile
  • You have reached Stage 4

Getting to Stage 5: Clinically Confirmed
