Patients & reports
Reports & templates
Design report layouts and deliver finished results to patients.
Labgen turns captured results into clean, professional reports. You design a template once, and every report inherits your branding, layout, and the right reference ranges for each patient.
How a report comes together
A report is the output of the Report Status queue. Each test travels the line on its own timetable, and the report is what falls out of the far end:
- 1The sample is collected and accessioned against its barcode.
- 2Results are captured — typed into the Result Entry Station, or filed automatically by a connected analyzer.
- 3Labgen applies the correct reference range to each parameter based on the patient's age and gender, flagging every value high or low.
- 4A staff member reviews and verifies the results — a second pair of eyes, which does not yet release anything.
- 5A pathologist authorizes them. The test is now signed off and safe to print.
- 6You print, dispatch, and release it — and release is when the patient is notified.
Per test, not per visit
A visit with four tests produces four reports on four timetables. A finished CBC can be printed and handed over while a culture on the same bill is still incubating — and Clubbed reports combines whichever ones are ready into a single PDF.
Report templates
Templates define how a report looks: your letterhead, the grouping of parameters (for example RBC, WBC, and platelet groups in a CBC), peripheral-smear or free-text sections, and the signature area. Your laboratory profile — name, address, logo, signatories — flows automatically into every template.
Age and gender aware
A single template adapts per patient. The same CBC template prints adult-male ranges for one patient and paediatric ranges for another, with no manual switching.
Delivering reports
- Download / print a PDF for in-person collection.
- Club several tests into one PDF — combine all or some of a visit's reports into a single document. See Clubbed reports.
- WhatsApp the report directly to the patient's number.
- Email it as an attachment.
Amendments
If a result needs correcting after it's been authorized, Labgen lets you amend it but asks for a reason and records the change. See Verification & critical values and the Data logger for how this is tracked.
