This article provides guidance on adding new laboratory tests and complex laboratory packages to the system. This feature allows you to combine the parameters of external laboratory providers with the institution's own pricing strategy, enabling flexible management of custom test palettes and package offers.
Step-by-Step Setup of Laboratory Tests
To access this feature, navigate to Settings > Examinations > Add New Examination in the left sidebar.
General Settings
First, record the general information on the data sheet:
Examination Type: Select the "Labor" option.
Selecting a Laboratory Provider: Specify the laboratory type (e.g., Synlab, Medicover, Cordes, etc.) with which the system is integrated.
Specialty and Doctor: Assign the test to the appropriate specialty and calendar (or doctor).
Naming: Provide the name of the test in both Hungarian and English for better searchability.
Selecting Laboratory Elements
Assemble the content of the package in the "Laboratory Elements" section:
Search and Add: Search the list on the left for elements provided by the laboratory (e.g., blood count, blood sugar, sampling fee).
Transfer: Use the arrows to move the desired elements into the "Examination Composition" column.
Pricing: The system displays the total list price of the selected elements. In the "Custom Labor Price" field, you can set a fixed package price that may differ from the sum of the list prices (e.g., for a discounted package offer).
Booking and Payment Conditions
In the final stage of the setup, you can record the booking rules similar to standard examinations:
Select the payment method (e.g., on-site, online credit card).
Set the cancellation policy and calendar display parameters.
Click Save at the end of the process.
Tips
Search Terms: When searching for laboratory elements, use abbreviated codes or keywords (e.g., "got", "gpt", "sampling") for faster selection.
Package Pricing: If you provide a "Custom Price," the system will display this to the patient, regardless of how the sum of the list prices changes.
