Hospital ERP for Lab Technicians
For DMLT, BMLT, B.Sc MLT, B.MLS
A lab technician's work: the day's workload, billing and collecting samples, receiving or rejecting them, entering and checking results, reports, outside labs, the lab's reagents and stock, its analysers and their calibration, and setting up tests.
