If you are working with any external labs, you'll want to add them into your Principle space. By adding labs, you'll have a record of all lab jobs that you've ordered. You'll be able to track their status (sending, sent, received) and connect them to the patient's appointment, so you'll never forget a lab job again.
First we need to set up the lab.
Find Labs under the Operations heading in the main menu.
Click the Create Lab button in the top right corner.
Enter in the Name of the lab
Optionally enter the Address of the lab.
Enter the phone and/or email
Click the Add New Lab button to save this lab contact.
You can edit lab details by clicking on the name of the saved lab, and clicking the 'Edit' icon.
Now we need to add in the lab jobs that they do.
Click on the third tab, Lab Job Types
Click Create Lab Job Type
Write the name of the job, the cost and click create.
Do this for as many lab types as the lab has.
You can also add members or contacts that work at the lab.
In the Contacts tab, Click the Create Member button.
Enter the Name of the individual member of the lab you have selected
Enter in one or more of the following fields: email, address, phone
If you have the information, you can include job title and mobile phone number.
Click the Create button to save the Member contact.
This will also be saved in the Contact tab
Now when you order a lab job with them, these details will be prefilled. Here's how to create a lab job for a patient.
