Clinical Orders & Results

During a patient's stay (or an outpatient visit), the doctor orders investigations and procedures: lab tests, radiology, surgeries. The system follows a clear pattern — a request opened by the doctor, then a result entered by the labs or departments, with the two linked together. Every priced line is split between patient and insurer as usual.

Lab tests: request then result

Lab Test Request is the doctor's order to run tests: it carries the patient, doctor and admission, and a grid of requested tests (test type, device, blood quantity, tube and color, time taken, antibiotic) and their prices, and later links to the result document.

Lab Test Result records the measured values. Its smartness: when you pick the test type, it loads its result components (test cases) and fills in the normal range appropriate to the patient's demographic (male/female, adult/child) automatically, so the technician enters only the measured value. Picking the request copies patient and doctor data, and for a single-test-type request it preloads the result lines. The lookups are filtered intelligently too: test types matching the request, and requests not yet resulted.

Radiology: request then result

Radiology Request is the doctor's order for an imaging study: patient, doctor, radiology type, status, price, and attachments.

Radiology Result is the radiologist's report and images: it's created from the request (via "from document") and carries a radiology report block with its texts and attachments (the image and report files).

Surgeries: request, reservation and approval

A surgery moves through three complementary documents:

• Surgery Request — requests the operation with its type, classification, status and full pricing (patient/insurer split), and links to the surgery invoice.

• Surgery Reservation — books the operating room for a given slot (doctor, specialty, surgery type, room, reservation date and time) — the scheduling side of the request.

• Surgery Approval — the signed consent/approval to proceed, with its supporting attachments.

The blood bank

Blood Bank is a master file that acts as an accounting party (the source/destination of blood units). When blood units are returned (e.g. unused ones), this is recorded in a Blood Bank Return — a document with full inventory lines (item, quantity, lot, expiry) and pricing split between patient and insurer, producing a stock receipt. Issuing and billing blood is done via the Blood Bank Invoice.
