Lab Test Template

You can quickly design all different types of lab tests using the Lab Test Template in ERPNext.

To avoid having to repeatedly enter the same information, you can pre-configure the events and result components for Single, Compound, Descriptive, or Grouped tests.

1. How to create a Lab Test Template

To create a Lab Test Template, go to:

Home > Healthcare > Laboratory > Lab Test Template > New Lab Test Template

The following fields are found in every result format's template.

  1. Name of Test: Provide the name of the lab test.
  2. Item Code: Items are automatically created upon template creation to manage the invoicing procedure for lab tests. In this area, enter the test's item code.
  3. Item Group: With this field, you can categorize the laboratory tests according to several criteria. Establish a new item group or pick from the ones already created
  4. Department: The medical facility where this lab test is performed.
  5. Result Format: Describe the lab test's outcome format.:

  • Single: Only one result value is interpreted for this kind of lab test.

  • Compound: The material is examined in a variety of ways during compound lab testing.

  • Descriptive: These tests are employed for evaluating a number of outcome variables, and you can configure them to examine the sample's susceptibility to various antibiotics.
  • Grouped: This is a collection of additional test templates.
  • No Result: These tests yield no results at all.

  1. Description: Here, you can give a thorough explanation of the test.

  2. Is Billable: If the test is chargeable, check this.

  3. Rate: If the box labeled "Is Billable" is ticked, you must enter the cost of the lab test in this area. After the template is saved in this scenario, Item Price will be set up automatically.

1.1 Single Result Format

Only one result value is evaluated in this result format. After entering the information requested in step one, the UOM, Secondary UOM, and Normal Range must be configured. To check for anemia, for instance, the haemoglobin test is frequently used, typically in conjunction with a hematocrit or as part of a complete blood count (CBC).

1.2 Compound Result Format

The sample is put through a number of events testing in this outcome format. The "Compound" table must be configured to handle these events. For each event, you can set the Events as well as the UOM, Secondary UOM, Conversion Factor, and Normal Range. If the outcome of any event in the lab test may be left unspecified, you can select "Allow Blank" next to it. The system won't allow you to submit the lab test until all the result values are set if this is not checked.

1.3 Descriptive Result Format

Several result components are tested using these tests. By turning on the "Sensitivity" option in the template, you may optionally configure testing the sample's sensitivity for various antibiotics. The "Allow Blank" option enables leaving certain components' result entries blank.

1.4 Grouped Result Format

A lab test result is created using a grouped result format as a collection of additional tests or events, such as a complete hemogram. A series of procedures known as the Whole haemogram test are carried out on a blood sample. A hemogram is used as a thorough screening tool to look for any illnesses or infections in the body. Specifically, a hemogram examines these three elements of blood:

  • The hematocrit test and the hemoglobin test are frequently used to determine whether a patient has anemia (CBC).
  • The percentage of each type of WBC in the body is determined by a DLC blood test.
  • The TLC test measures the quantity of WBCs in our bodies.
  • Neutrophils (Event) (Event)

In case of occurrences, you can set the UOM, Secondary UOM, and Normal Range. The system automatically retrieves the description and rating of any additional tests you select from the database.

2. Features

2.1 Automatic Item Creation for Templates

You can control the billable item, rate, etc. for a specific lab test using templates. When a template is saved, the system immediately produces an Item associated to it. The item pricing is also created for the template if it is chargeable.

If necessary, you can use the Change Template Code button to alter the Item Code associated with the Lab Template.

2.2 Disable Templates

When not in use, you can turn off the templates by selecting the "Disabled" checkbox. When a Lab Test Template is disabled, the related item is likewise disabled.

2.3 Medical Coding

Under the Medical Coding area, you may also customize the Medical Code Standard and Medical Code for your templates.

2.4 Configure Sample Collection

When setting up a lab test, you can specify the Sample that must be taken. Choose the Lab Test Sample, set the UOM and quantity required.

2.5 Worksheet Print

The instructions for Lab Technicians can be customized here. Only when the lab test is not submitted will these instructions be displayed in the "Lab Test Print" format for the lab test doctype.

2.6 Result Legend Print

This Form has been Changed in Version 13

While setting up the lab test, you can specify the sample that has to be taken. Set the UOM and necessary quantity after selecting the lab test sample. Choose the position on the page where you want to print this legend, then edit it in the "Result Legend" field.
