Hi Dave, Just realized you didn't understand very well the question.So, allow me to explain in details the work flow of Lab module. *1Step*:On patient dashboard I created a new tab called " Lab order".When you click on this tab you get a list of all oderable exams at Health Center or Hospital.By asking the patient relevant questions,the clinician will be able to select exams to be ordered for more diagonisis. When the selected Lab exams are ordered ,the Encounter between the patient and Clinician is created. Note:This page with Lab order is intended for Physician/Clinician ordering Lab exams. *2nd Step*:After the clinician orders lab exams,the patient leaves for Laboratory to give the sample of those ordered exams in first step.On the basis of patient name or identifier the laboratory technician automatically loads all ordered tests from the system for that specific patient and ordered tests are dis played as it looks like below:
*Number* *OrderId* *Test Name* *Ordered on* *Status* 1 4560 hemoglobin 02/02/2012 *incomplete* 2 4561 CD4 02/02/2012 *incomplete* 3 4562 Malaria Smear 02/02/2012 *incomplete* 4 4562 Stool exam 02/02/2012 *incomplete* The result will be added later in next step. Note:This table above is viewed by Laboratory tecnician when he is checking the orders for a specific patient *3rd step*:When results are available ,the next step is to add the results.The Lab technician click on incomplete status and get the form below from it the result will be filled in. Patient Benz Jean Observation date Location Test Hemoglobin Results SAVE When this form is Saved,the encounter whose encounter type is Laboratory encounter type is created.Now the key challenge I 'm facing is to add results for all exams and links them to this Last Lab encounter that created at this 3rd step. Note;This forms is saved as obs. For further information on your Lab entry,How do u manage the sample and specimen number of exams?In which table are the specimen number saved?What does autoExpireDate, AccessionNumber (from Order properties) mean? I think the work flow can make you the logic we are using. Faustin. On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 3:01 AM, Dave Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Faustin.
