Request A Test

After you have setup the Test groups, Test items and the test Parameters, you are now ready to run your Laboratory with Medikal HMS software.

The Laboratory process is simple.

• The doctor requests a test after patient examination.
• The lab gets a notification and can see the requested test(s) in the Manage Laboratory page.
• The Lab manager/attendant charges the test to the patients account after the patient makes payment.
• Payment is posted by the cashier/frontdesk from the patient's page in MANAGE PATIENT module.
• Lab personel runs the test(s) and when the result is out, enters the results in the result page.
• Doctor will see the result status on the patient's page.
• Both the doctor and lab personel can send messages back and forth using the WAITING LIST tool.
