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.

Putting it together

Data entry drill

Enter blood count results

The analyser has printed four complete blood counts. Enter each one's results on the Result Entry screen.

From: Analyser printout: complete blood count · 4 records

Data entry drill

Add outside labs from their details

The lab is setting up three reference labs to send tests to. Add each one from its details sheet.

From: Reference lab details sheet · 3 records

Case scenario

A haemolysed sample and a critical potassium

A ward patient's morning bloods arrive unusable, and the repeat sample shows a dangerous result.

9 scenes · 2 decisions

Case scenario

A test the lab doesn't do

A doctor orders a test that goes to an outside lab, and the result comes back in different units.

7 scenes · 3 decisions

Case scenario

The morning collection rush

Twenty patients at the collection counter, two with almost the same name, and a result very different from last week's.

8 scenes · 3 decisions

Case scenario

A result that doesn't fit

A ward patient's haemoglobin has dropped by a third overnight, and nobody has recorded any bleeding.

7 scenes · 2 decisions

Case scenario

The analyser stops in the morning rush

The biochemistry analyser stops with an error at 07:15, with the morning's samples waiting and urgent ones from casualty and the ICU.
