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:

  1. 1The sample is collected and accessioned against its barcode.
  2. 2Results are captured — typed into the Result Entry Station, or filed automatically by a connected analyzer.
  3. 3Labgen applies the correct reference range to each parameter based on the patient's age and gender, flagging every value high or low.
  4. 4A staff member reviews and verifies the results — a second pair of eyes, which does not yet release anything.
  5. 5A pathologist authorizes them. The test is now signed off and safe to print.
  6. 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.
