testing and screening protocols

Testing and screening protocols are procedures used to identify health conditions early or determine whether an individual has a specific disease. Screening involves quickly checking large groups of people, often with simple tests, to flag those who might need further investigation. Testing provides more detailed analysis to confirm or rule out a condition in individuals. Together, these protocols help detect illnesses early, improve treatment outcomes, and prevent the spread of contagious diseases, guiding appropriate medical care and public health responses.
