The Consensus Process
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's (CLSI) core business is the development of globally applicable voluntary consensus documents for health care testing. It is why members and volunteers actively support and participate in CLSI. CLSI develops consensus documents through an accredited consensus process. CLSI's voluntary consensus is the substantial agreement by materially affected, competent, and interested parties. It does not always connote unanimous agreement, but does mean that the participants in the development of a consensus document have considered and resolved all relevant objections and are willing to accept the resulting agreement.

“To me, the whole process of being a brushstroke in someone else’s painting is a little difficult.”
