screening protocols
Systematic filtering guidelines
Screening protocols are standardized procedures for evaluating people or things to identify specific conditions, risks, or qualifications.
In healthcare, screening protocols determine how and when to test for diseases: The screening protocols for colorectal cancer recommend colonoscopies starting at age 45.
The term appears across fields—airport security, job applicants, research subjects—wherever systematic filtering occurs.
