Creating Laboratory Service Items
Lab services can be used to show that lab work was created and track its progress from being sent off to being returned to the practice.
Configuring Lab Codes
- Go to Configure - Services/Stock Items - View Services.
- Search for code LAB in the Code box at the bottom of the window.
- If you already have a lab code set up, highlight this in the service list, then click the edit e|d button, you can then skip the first two bullet points of step 3.
- If you do not have this code configured, continue to step 3.
- Click +1 in the bottom right-hand corner.
- Type LAB into the Code box.
- Add a Description of your choice, for example 'Lab Item'.
- In the Chart tab, tick the Lab Item box.
- In the Categories section, click the selection icon (it looks like a lined piece of paper with an arrow pointing inwards).
- Select the category you wish to keep this service item in, repeat for any additional categories.
- If you wish to set a fee to your lab items, click on the Fees tab, entering the price in Price 2 (default).
- Click OK - your new lab code is now set up

The idea of this is great, however the return date of the lab work of future appointments is unknown until the appointments are actually booked by the reception.
