Several strategies can be employed to reduce the occurrence of false negatives:
1. Improving Test Sensitivity: Developing and using tests with higher sensitivity can help reduce false negatives. 2. Multiple Testing: Conducting multiple tests over time can increase the likelihood of detecting the disease. 3. Quality Control: Ensuring rigorous standards in sample collection, handling, and processing can minimize human error. 4. Supplementary Tests: Using a combination of different tests can provide a more accurate diagnosis.
