The Lab Reports tab (?page=lab-reports&patient_id=X) is for attaching external/scanned lab results directly to a patient's chart — separate from the full in-house Lab Module (used for ordering and processing tests within the clinic's own lab). Use this when a patient brings in results from an outside lab.
Step-by-step: uploading a report
- Open the patient's chart → Lab Reports tab (or go to Lab Reports and pick a patient).
- Choose Upload Report.
- Drag and drop or select a file — PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, or WEBP, up to the clinic's configured size limit (default 20MB).
- Fill in any report details requested, then Upload & Extract — the system can OCR/extract key values automatically.
- Once uploaded, reports appear in the patient's report list, downloadable via Open File.
Reviewing a report
A clinician with review_lab_reports can mark a report as reviewed, recording who reviewed it and when.
