1) First sign-in and basic setup
Use this once when a new workspace starts on the software.
- Sign in with your username/email/mobile and password.
- Open Lab configuration (or organization settings) and verify: name, address, phone, logo, letterhead, and report footer.
- If your tenant uses email notifications, contact us for configuration.
- Open Users & roles and assign each staff member a role and module access.
- Run a test cycle in each enabled module to verify branding and permissions.
2) Laboratory — daily front-desk workflow
Use this process for every new patient visit (when Laboratory module is enabled).
- Go to Patients → New visit.
- Enter demographics (name, gender, age, contact, MR if available).
- Select tests from the catalog and confirm panel and hospital / clinic directory link (if applicable).
- Verify discounts (panel/default/manual), then check total, paid, and pending amounts.
- Save visit and print receipt. If email is enabled and patient email is valid, credentials/notice are sent automatically.
Tip: Always capture mobile and email at registration to reduce report-collection delays later.
3) Laboratory — tests and parameter management
Maintain a clean catalog so reporting remains fast and accurate.
- Create sections first (Hematology, Biochemistry, Serology, etc.).
- Add tests with test ID, rate, TAT, section, and instrument information.
- Attach parameters through searchable dropdown and set order/group headings.
- Define parameter data type and reference ranges carefully (numeric/text/choice/image).
- Use report block fields (text/media) for panel-style reporting where parameter rows are not enough.
4) Laboratory — result entry and approval workflow
Recommended bench-to-approver flow.
- Open Reports workbench and filter pending visits.
- Enter values parameter-wise; save progress repeatedly (do not wait until end).
- When complete, click Send for approval (parameter or report-sheet mode).
- Approver reviews in Approver dashboard, approves values/report sheet, then sends for print.
- Final report can be generated with or without header, and notification can be sent if enabled.
5) Hospital — OPD workflow
Appointments through consultation (when Hospital module is enabled).
- Appointments: register or find the patient, book or confirm an appointment.
- Queue: add the patient to the waiting-room queue and call the next token.
- EMR: open the patient chart and review prior visits and allergies.
- Consultation: record vitals, clinical notes, diagnosis, and plan.
- Prescription: write e-prescriptions; hand off to pharmacy when both modules are enabled.
6) Hospital — telemedicine
Virtual visits when Hospital module is enabled.
- Schedule a virtual visit from the telemedicine hub with patient, provider, and meeting link.
- Share the patient access code or link before the session starts.
- Mark the visit in progress, document session notes, then complete or hand off to a consultation.
- Use the same EMR chart and prescription flow as in-person OPD when clinical documentation is required.
7) Pharmacy — dispensing workflow
Fulfill prescriptions and retail sales (when Pharmacy module is enabled).
- Open the Pharmacy dashboard and review pending prescriptions from consultations.
- Dispense items, record quantities, and mark orders fulfilled.
- Use Retail sales for over-the-counter transactions.
- Reconcile daily collections against the finance module.
8) Payments and billing controls
How to track cash movement and receivables accurately.
- Use Billing for invoice-level records (amount, discount, paid, pending).
- Use Payments for actual collections and allocation across pending visits.
- Use panel, hospital-clinic directory, date, and payment-state filters for monthly statements and follow-up.
- Print filtered summaries before settlement meetings with panels and referrers.
- Reconcile pending amounts daily to avoid old untracked receivables.
9) Recommended shift checklist
Quick control list for quality and business continuity.
- Start of day: check pending approvals, pending payments, queue length, and overdue reports.
- During day: save result progress frequently; avoid unsaved bulk edits.
- End of day: verify cash vs software collections; print daily pending summary.
- Weekly: review panel and hospital / clinic directory outstanding statements.
- Monthly: audit test rates, referral discounts, and inactive catalog entries.
