Lab Test Management with Internal and External Labs

The system is designed to facilitate lab test management for clinic, allowing them to perform tests in their own internal lab as well as outsource tests to external labs. The workflow involves collecting specimens from the internal lab for both types of testing. In the case of external lab testing, suppliers are responsible for collecting specimens from the clinic and providing the test results as PDF files.

    Internal Lab Testing:
  • Clinic can conduct lab tests in their own internal lab
  • Specimens for testing are collected within the clinic premises
  • Test results are generated within the internal lab and stored in the system
  • No involvement of external suppliers or batches in this scenario
    External Lab Testing:
  • For certain tests, clinic may choose to outsource them to external labs
  • Suppliers are assigned to collect specimens from the clinic for external lab testing
  • The clinic user can map the specific lab test to a particular supplier, establishing the outsourcing relationship
  • Multiple lab tests can be bundled together as a batch for the supplier's convenience
  • This batch helps the supplier provide a common result for the entire batch or separate results for individual tests within the batch
  • The mapping of lab tests to suppliers and batch creation occurs within the system.
    Result Delivery and Invoicing:
  • Once the tests are conducted in the external lab, the results are generated as PDF files
  • Suppliers deliver the PDF files containing the test results back to the clinic
  • Internal clinic users can access the system and associate the received results with the corresponding lab tests
  • Invoicing is simplified by allowing the user to create invoices for specific suppliers by selecting the corresponding batch
  • This streamlines the process for suppliers to receive invoices for their services efficiently
  • The mapping of lab tests to suppliers and batch creation occurs within the system.

In summary, the system enables clinics to manage lab tests by performing them internally or outsourcing them to external labs. Specimen collection, result delivery, and invoicing processes are streamlined to ensure effective coordination between the clinic, suppliers, and the internal lab. The system's features enable seamless mapping of lab tests to suppliers, batch creation, result attachment, and invoice generation, enhancing the overall efficiency of lab test management.
