A well-organized patient database is the foundation of any efficient lab. The Patients section in the DrPro Lab module provides a centralized place to store, manage, and access all your patient information and their complete diagnostic history.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Navigate to the Patients Section
From the main sidebar on the left, click on Lab and then select Patients. This will take you to your complete patient database.
Step 2: Add a New Patient
You can add patients directly from this screen or when creating a new order. To add one from the database:
- Click the + Add Patient button in the top-right corner.
- A pop-up form will appear. Fill in the patient’s essential details, including:
- Full Name (First, Middle, Last)
- Age and/or Birth Date
- Gender
- Marital Status
- Click Add Patient to save the new record. The patient will now appear in your main list.
Step 3: View and Search Your Patient List
The main screen displays a list of all your registered patients with key information at a glance:
- Patient: Name, age, and gender.
- Contact: Phone number and email address.
- Address: The patient’s primary address.
To find a specific person quickly, simply type their name or contact details into the Search Patient bar.
Step 4: Access Detailed Patient Information
To see a complete profile for any patient, click View Patient in the “Action” column. A detailed view will open with two main tabs:
- Patient Info: This is the default tab. It displays comprehensive demographic data, including contact details, address, employment information, and any custom fields you have set up.
- Diagnostic Orders: This tab is crucial for a quick overview of the patient’s history. It shows a complete list of all past and present lab orders for that patient, including the test name, order number, and current status (e.g., Pending, Completed).
This powerful feature allows you to access a patient’s entire testing history from one convenient location, improving continuity of care.
