Your role
Lab technologist
Your day in the clinic's lab. You take the samples, enter the results, and release them to the clinician, critical results at once.
Kila describes the role: “The lab queue only: samples, results, validation and release, and the lab report. No other part of the visit.” You read and write the results of the patients with a visit open at your branch.

Needs a manager
The rest of the visit. “Your role works in the lab: samples, results and their release. The desk and the clinicians change the visit.” Ask the desk to move the patient on or change the bill.
Common questions
Link to this section: Common questionsA result is critical. Kila says so when you save it: “A critical value: release it so the clinician is told at once.” Tell the clinician, then release it, recording how you told them: Enter and release lab results.
Why can I not move the patient on? Your role works in the lab only; the desk and the clinicians change the visit.
Where are the reference ranges? Under Tests and reference ranges, the fourth tab of the Lab.
- Enter and release lab results: the lab’s work, step by step.
- Radiographer: imaging, on the same worklist.
- Medical laboratory: a laboratory of its own.
