Investigations

The quick list of investigations doctors tick on the consultation screen, global or per department.

Investigations is the quick list of tests a doctor ticks on the consultation screen, such as CBC or Chest X-ray. It is a pick-list for the prescription, not the lab's price list.

Before you begin

• Adding needs the masters create right; editing and deleting need the masters edit and delete rights.

Where it is used

On OPD Consultation, investigations appear as chips. The test order box on the prescription already offers every test in the lab's Test Catalog and every exam in the Imaging Catalogue.

Common questions

An item shows in the wrong clinic. Edit it and change the Scope.

Can I hide an item without deleting it? Untick Active. Records already made keep it.

Where are test prices set? In the Test Catalog and the Imaging Catalogue, not here.
