Lab (In-house & External)

Overview

Import ready-made lab panels or build your own templates with sex- and age-aware reference ranges. Record in-house results with automatic abnormality flags, track external lab and radiology orders through a clear lifecycle, and notify staff the moment results land on the chart.

Real-world use cases

1

Bootstrap panels from the catalog

Import CBC, chemistry, and other standard panels in one click — units and reference ranges come pre-built, ready to customize.

2

Flag abnormal values instantly

When a result is saved, the system matches the patient's sex and age to the best reference range and marks values outside the normal band.

3

Track send-out lab work

Create lab test orders against your vendor directory, attach request forms, advance status from draft to completed, and enter per-test results.

4

Compare history on the patient chart

Filter past results by template, date range, or abnormal-only to spot trends without leaving the profile.

What you get

Lab catalog import

Browse a built-in library of panels and individual parameters — import into your clinic library with optional regional reference values.

Custom templates & units

Build panels from scratch, drag-and-drop unit ordering, and define numeric or text reference ranges by sex and age.

External vendor directory

Manage testing labs, dental labs, and radiology centers with contact info, active flags, and order volume stats.

Order lifecycle tracking

Draft → sent → in progress → completed with status history, urgency levels, attachments, and per-test result lines.

Staff result alerts

Doctors and assistants are notified when in-house results are recorded on a session.

Accounting hook

In-house results automatically feed the accounting microservice for billing integration.
