Positive Screening

Positive screening refers to a process where a test or measurement indicates the potential presence of a condition, trait, or issue. It is used as an initial step to identify individuals who may need further evaluation or testing. A positive result doesn't necessarily confirm a diagnosis but suggests that something might be worth investigating more thoroughly. For example, a positive cancer screening test means further tests are needed to confirm whether cancer is present. This approach helps catch conditions early, improving chances for effective treatment and better outcomes.
