Add / Edit Test
Catalog metadata drives booking, specimen requirements, result entry, reference rules and the report renderer.
Basic information
Specimen & collection
Sample requirements (multi-collection tests)
Used by timed protocols such as a glucose tolerance test. Leave blank for single-collection tests.
Method / technology
An outsourced test is still an active test. Outsourcing is a processing route — it is never the same as deactivating a test.
Turnaround time
The master catalogue carries a reference TAT; this lab stores its own TAT override.
Result type
Result type drives the workflow
Numeric: result entry, pathologist review and the report template adapt automatically. No separate product is built per test type.Parameter configuration
Numeric, text, select and multi-parameter tests use the parameter grid. Manage parameters, units, precision, ordering, report visibility and critical limits from the test detail page.
Related / reflex tests (optional)
Reflex rules are captured as configuration only. Automatic reflex ordering is implemented later; nothing is auto-ordered today.

Test vs Panel vs Package
- Test — one investigation, may report many parameters (CBC → Hb, WBC…).
- Panel / Profile — several tests ordered and reported together (Lipid Profile).
- Package — commercial bundle with its own price (Cardiac Screening Package).
Master vs lab configuration
The global master defines the investigation. Each lab enables it and owns its own method, price, TAT, branch availability and — where authorised — its reference rules. Global price is never treated as universal.
